performance monitoring

I have just fount out that the cammand i use to check my zm server remote (iostat -k) give me 5 of processor usage but an average from last reboot. Ideally i want a top like instant report but i need to be able to run the command from webmin as i dont open ssh upto the internet.

I have tried using top -n1 to give a single snapshot but this wont work in webmin (works fine on ssh)
as you can see below

> top -n1
TERM environment variable not set.
> top -n1 -S
TERM environment variable not set.
> top -n1 -s
TERM environment variable not set.

Anyone else use anything uselful or know a way round this

Does

Code: Select all

TERM=vt100; top -n1

work?

[jameswilson]

no,l that works in ssh on y home box but not with webmin same error

> TERM=vt100; top -n1
TERM environment variable not set.

Have you tried top -b? That shouldn't need a terminal setting, so

Code: Select all

top -b -n 1

should just squirt out a listing without regard to layout.

no unfortunatly not that wont do it either

Command history
> top -b -n 1
TERM environment variable not set.

is there another command that will give me the processor state or is top the only one?
