How to find process that's using 100% of CPU
- by Gabriel
As i'm looking at htop and top i see that my processor usage is 100% allways. But i can not see any process that is using that much CPU. Htop shows me only 1-2 processes that use around 5% cpu time.
Is there a way to find the processes that use that much cpu time?
Here is the output of ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -r -k1 | less
