Topas vs "ps aux"

hoang06 · Jan 12, 2005

Hi,
Can anybody explain why the report of %CPU of a process in topas is different from the same process using ps aux?

thanks

topas shows the %CPU for that interval.
ps aux shows the %CPU since the process was created.

How can I get the %cpu of a process without topas and nmon ?
