ok, I'm trying to get the %CPU idle from a script (as in obtain its value
....$idle_cpu). Now my first thought was to assign the output of
'top -q|head -3|tail -1' to a string and strip out the value...but it is
hardly a pleasing way to do it....top is slow to return even with the -q
and you also have to reset your shell when the script returns as it does
some funny things to it.....so does anyone know of a nicer way of doing
this.....a nice system call maybe???
BTW...still cant get my camra working....some sort of syncroniseing problem
is just giving me loads of horizontal lines...ahhh!
cheers
