I have to run top in my machine (mac osx), and get the cpu usage from there, in real time.
How can I do that?
I tried running top and saving it but it must end before it saves it.
Thank you.
The -n command line option lets you run top for the specified number of cycles, then exit. So
top -n 1just runs it once and you can parse the output.
