I have a Samurize config that shows a CPU usage graph similar to Task manager.

How do I also display the name of the process with the current highest CPU usage percentage?

I would like this to be updated, at most, once per second. Samurize can call a command line tool and display it’s output on screen, so this could also be an option.

Further clarification:

I have investigated writing my own command line c# .NET application to enumerate the array returned from System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses(), but the Process instance class does not seem to include a CPU percentage property.

Can I calculate this in some way?

  1. With PowerShell:

    Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -desc | Select-Object -first 3 | Format-Table CPU,ProcessName -hidetableheader

    returns somewhat like:

      16.8641632 System    12.548072 csrss   11.9892168 powershell
