Hello Campers,
I would like to save the top
command output into a file. I use this command:
top -b -n 1 > file.txt
-b
- forces the batch mode
-n 1
- count of executions that would be saved
Once the command is executed the output looks like below:
top - 17:06:14 up 1:27, 0 users, load average: 0.52, 0.58, 0.59
Tasks: 4 total, 1 running, 3 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s): 3.1 us, 0.9 sy, 0.0 ni, 95.8 id, 0.0 wa, 0.2 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
KiB Mem : 16721672 total, 8794144 free, 7698176 used, 229352 buff/cache
KiB Swap: 50331648 total, 50331648 free, 0 used. 8889764 avail Mem

What is important for me is the CPU utilization. Especially the CPU per core/thread utilization. In order to check it you have to:
- execute the
top
command - once it is executed you should click
1
number (above theQ
key on keyboard) and you will see
top - 17:12:55 up 1:34, 0 users, load average: 0.52, 0.58, 0.59
