Monitoring all loaded processes

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I wondered if anybody could help me with this: I want to monitor all the processes that are loaded in µClinux (CPU usage, memory usage,...).  Warm Regards

[Altera_Forum]

Look in the /proc file system.

Any ideas?

Why are you doing this when you can just get &#39;top&#39; from busybox? Moreso, doesn&#39;t the processor need some sort of time reference to actual calculate loading on the CPU? IE: a RTC

Hi, 

  If you are looking for something GUI based like Windows task manager, Then have a look at LTaMe (Linux Task Manager) in source forge. This was made by me and 3 of my friends. Works but got some small bugs. It is made of QT. If u want to monitor tasks running on target you will have to write some socket programs and run LTaMe on ur linux box. It currentlygives details about the linux box on which u run LTaMe. Have a look.   <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  Is any one interested in doing that??????????????????[/b]  --- Quote End ---
