Display how much CPU a process is using:
ps -eo pcpu,pid -o comm= | sort -k1 -n -r | head -1
For example, show top five CPU using processes:
ps -eo pcpu,pid -o comm= | sort -k1 -n -r | head -5
Which will output the following:
0.6 24458 bash 0.3 24457 cphulkd.pl 0.2 7704 php5 0.1 7706 php5 0.1 7705 php5
