This is probably all wrong but would this give you the total used time?
Quantum leap to get the procent idle time from it.
#!/bin/bash
for i in `ps auxf | awk '{ MEL = MEL + $3; print MEL }'`; do
IDLE=$i
done
echo Idle time: $IDLE
it sums the third field of ps which is %CPU.
Points about it
1. Yes - I know it shouldn't need to print out over and over again but it
was the easiest thing to do on short notice.
2. Yes - I couldn't be bothered to think of a better variable name than
$MEL
