How to use the top command to monitor Linux system performance

The top command can be used to monitor the performance of Linux systems. In fact, there are many commands for monitoring system performance in Linux. (See the system home to monitor the performance of Linux system?) The top command is just one of them. The home will give you a detailed introduction to the usage of the top command, let's get to know it.

top is a dynamic display process that allows the user to press the button to constantly refresh the current state. If the command is executed in the foreground, it will monopolize the foreground until the user terminates the program. More accurately, the top command provides real-time status monitoring of the system processor. It will display the list of tasks that are most CPU-sensitive in the system. This command can be used by the CPU. The memory usage and execution time sort the tasks; and many of the features of the command can be set via interactive commands or in a personal customization file.

1. Command format:

top [parameters]

2. Command Function:

Displays information about the process currently being executed by the system, including process ID, memory usage, CPU usage, etc.

-c Display complete governance command

-I Ignore invalidation procedure

-s privacy mode

-S Cumulative mode

-i "Time" Set interval time

-u "user name" Specify user name

-p "process number" Specify process

-n "Number of times" The number of times the loop is displayed

4. Example:

Example 1: Displaying process information

Command: top
