looking for a bash command to show the current CPU load.

i have a very small script that i use to log the temperatures of my cpu , i use it when im doing OC tests.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Date-------------------------Core1-Core2-FAN" >> temp.log
while true; do
echo `date`    `sensors | grep "Core 0" | cut -f2 -d'+'  | cut -f1 -d'C'`    `sensors | grep "Core 1" | cut -f2 -d'+'  | cut -f1 -d'C'` `sensors | grep "fan2" | cut -f2 -d':' | cut -f1 -d'R'`  >> temp.log
sleep 1 
done

currently it gives the current output

Date-------------------------Core1-Core2-FAN
