It is easy to do from /proc/stat. I thougt that the dificulty was not how to do it, that if it was not included in screen byobu could not add it instead.
>From /proc/stat host:~$ cat /proc/stat | egrep ^cpu cpu 1027415 128298 707661 10450261 335521 29714 53902 0 0 cpu0 1027415 128298 707661 10450261 335521 29714 53902 0 0 These are allways increasing counters that stands for time cpu spent in iddle, running or wait. If you read it periodically and make the difference you get how CPUs spent time in this period. You do not need to worry about unit of these numbers because you are calculating a percentage. Searching at google for "linux cpu usage /proc/stat" throws a examples and comments, but I am looking for documentation for the meaning of each column. I do not remember wich column was idle or waiting. I think I saw this in kernel doc, I think there is a similar per process file in later kernels. I will send you this info if I find. Thanks, txemi.
