Kinda "top" in torsmo

Meshuggin · 2005-05-09 17:08:55

Hi, I've been testing tosmo and it's great ... I was just wondering ... is there some way to include something like gkrelltop (gkrellm plugin)?, It's very useful (at least for me) and because that detail, I still use gkrellm and not torsmo.

The thing is to get the top 3 services using more CPU ... maybe some script?, any idea?

Thanxs

Try adding this:
${execi 5 ps gaxo %cpu,%mem,comm,user | sort +0nr | head -n 10 }

it works great!, thanxs a lot! ... two more things:

- Can you explain me what it does: "gaxo", "sort + 0nr" (kinda sorting i know ...but more specific) ? I like to know how things work, not just copy-paste
- Can i add the date in torsmo?, I tried : $date, $(date), ${date} and no results, what's missing?

There is only a "time" feature

I got the script from the gentoo fourms. Gaxo, i think, are options for the 'ps' command. You can try 'man ps' to read about it.

The 'sort + 0nr', just sorts the %cpu in numerical reverse order while leaving off everything that use 0 cpu. There are alot of programs that run in the background which use 0 cpu but some mem. You can change to how you like. Put %mem,%cpu,comm,user and it will sort it by mem. Read 'man sort' for more info.

Like trapdoor said. To get the date it's ${time} not ${date}Read 'man strftime' to get all the options. Mine is ${time %I:%M %A %m-%d-%y}.

I'd also recoomed you check out http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-29 … 4ed7cd4c4a
