[comp.sys.alliant] Total available CPU time

jay@alliant.backbone.uoknor.edu (Jay Liang) (06/14/90)

One of my job duties is to generate usage stats monthly.  The results from
sa does not provide the total available CPU time for a given period which
should exclude the system down time.  Is there a reasonable way to calculate
this?  One suggestion I got from Alliant CS is to add up the Idle processes
time, but this does not exclude the down times and those idle processes are
reset everytime the machine is rebooted.  Any suggestions will be greatly 
appreaciated.
