I got only one response from Jim Fitzmaurice which I repeat below.
At this moment I made a little script running in the background, using the
output of vmstat.
It works quite well and I think I keep it this way cause there seems to be no
simple other solution.
Thanks,

Kees,
Ever heard of BigBrother? You can find it at
http://www.bb4.com.
BigBrother
affectionately known a BB is primarily an Open Source System monitoring
package that you can download and use at no cost. BB also has a number of
add-on features, also Open Source, no cost items, these can be found at
http://www.deadcat.net. One of these add-on features recently released in
beta is larrd-0.20. This package tracks cpu and disk usage and also displays
the data in graphs. It takes a little patience to set up, but definitely
worth the effort.

The original question was:
--------------------------
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.
