Hi, I want to know the cpu-usage of our backupserver after the backups are
finished.
I looked at the clock-program, but that's only for one running process, while I
like to know the system-wide cputime used.
What I want is something like:

cpu_1=cpu()
...
cpu_2=cpu()
cpu_total=cpu_2 - cpu_1

now I can easy calculate the average cputime used in the know period.

Thanks in advance
