Is there any way under Unix (more particularly, SUNOS) to determine the percentage of CPU utilization? ps u can tell what percent of the CPU a particular process is using, but I was wondering if this information was available for the processor in general (i.e. if the CPU is at 75%, the processor is idle 25% of the time). I know that the kernel keeps some statistical information (avenrun, etc) but I'm interested in something a little more normalized than the load average. Please reply directly to me as I don't read this newsgroup normally. I will post a followup if I get a solution. Thanks in advance.
