If I have 4 CPU's and am looking at one of the various time output
programs, is the number real, or is it divided by 4? or instance,
is it possible for me to get a cpu time usage on the system of 4
hours in a one hour period? Or, will it only be 1 hour max. Then,
how do I determine if all CPU's are being used equally.
BTW: This is a DGUX system. But, I would take any Unix flavor as
an example.
Side line: I am looking for a good product for generating reports on
CPU usage sorted by users, Processes, and groups. Not % of capacity,
but raw seconds of CPU time used. Like time(1) or times(2).
Commercial is fine. We would pay for it if it is good.
Is there a way to get times(2) to give up every process, as if it were
run by init. I am looking for something other than inittab. If an
inittab entry is the only way, examples would be appreciated. I can't
play with this system to test it first! (Crontab likewise.)
