Just what I was looking for
Great ! I was precisely looking for a workaround for top -l returning 0% CPU on 1st pass this morning! I would have liked to get the full 2nd pass of top -l2 including all processes, but I don't know how. Maybe one could count the number of lines, divide by 2, then return the second half of the output, which is the full second iteration of top -l2. Does anyone know how to do this? In the meantime, here's what I did using only processes with more than 0%CPU. To extract several columns from top's output, I made a template where I numbered the character positions of each column. Those who want custom output may find this useful: (the first line shows column boundaries marked with the | character, eg PID is characters 1 to 5, process name is 6 to 16 etc.) |1 5| 16| 24| 32| 36| 42| 63| 70| 77| PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE 16786 top 2.5% 0:00.52 1 19 0 0K- 0K- 736K+ 27.1M+ 15899 X Resource 0.9% 1:17.68 1 76 0 0K- 0K- 4.71M 206M 10790 iCab 5.7% 72:27.70 8 207 0 0K- 0K- 97.5M- 381M 913 BitTorrent 0.3% 3:26:26 3 96 0 0K- 0K- 11.2M 235M 732 VLC 1.5% 95:52.83 7 193 0 0K- 0K- 29.9M- 433M 431 EyeTV Help 0.9% 2:19.16 1 74 0 0K- 0K- 760K 191M 428 Butler 0.3% 5:07.16 3 116 0 0K- 0K- 5.34M 263M 399 Finder 0.9% 43:49.23 4 961 0 0K- 0K- 39.9M 506M 210 WindowServ 7.3% 3:05:44 2 553 0 0K- 0K- 108M+ 365M+ 0 kernel_tas 4.1% 1:42:41 35 2 0 0K- 0K 77.9M+ 756M Here's an example to get the first 3 colmuns (notice that I don't grep just '0.0%' like the original hint, because this may also match 10.0%, 20.0%, etc.): top -FR -l2 | grep '^....[1234567890] ' | grep -v ' 0.0% ..:' | cut -c 1-24 16589 top 2.3% 15899 X Resource 1.3% 11578 Carracho 1 0.3% 10790 iCab 8.9% 913 BitTorrent 0.3% 732 VLC 0.3% 399 Finder 0.3% 397 Dock 0.3% 210 WindowServ 3.7% 0 kernel_tas 2.0% And here's what I use to show PID, name, CPU, threads, parts and memory usage in GeekTool (ranges are separated by commas): top -FR -l2 | grep '^....[1234567890] ' | grep -v ' 0.0% ..:' | cut -c 1-24,33-42,64-77 17249 top 2.4% 1 19 740K+ 27.1M+ 16332 Terminal 0.4% 4 67 17.0M 222M 15899 X Resource 0.8% 1 76 4.71M 206M 11578 Carracho 1 0.4% 6 214 11.8M 297M 10790 iCab 9.0% 8 207 93.7M- 381M 913 BitTorrent 0.8% 3 96 10.9M 235M 732 VLC 1.6% 7 193 28.6M 433M 437 System Eve 0.4% 1 72 1.74M 225M 432 ContourShu 0.4% 1 68 840K 200M 210 WindowServ 2.8% 2 564 103M+ 363M+ 0 kernel_tas 1.6% 35 2 78.4M+ 756M
