TOP command on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to find a resource intensive process?

1

I have a box running SLES but I can't run TOP, apparently it's not installed on the box, is there a way for me to find a resource intensive process that's slowing the box down?

Any help will be much appreiciated.

Thanks

I would use something like

ps -eo pcpu,pid | sort

But may be you just can't locate top? Did you try /usr/bin/top?

No, I'd like to see the most cpu-intensive process at the end of the output. – None – 2012-05-22T09:25:45.040
