Get the procps package and look at how it calculates CPU utilization from information in /proc/uptime, /proc/loadavg, and most important /proc/stat. Create a simply library routine that can populate a structure with this information and call it a strategic times. The package might also be available on your system as libproc in which case you might just use the provided functions but beware -- some of the code is sub-optimal (it leaks memory). Mike -- A program should be written to model the concepts of the task it performs rather than the physical world or a process because this maximizes the potential for it to be applied to tasks that are conceptually similar and, more important, to tasks that have not yet been conceived. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
