Re: top showing cpu-states on woody

I was wondering this exact thing just yesterday. What I found is that the version of top (procps) included with woody does not support this. You have to get the newer version, for example by backporting the version in testing.

I also found a post suggesting the sysstat package with the mpstat program which provides some similar functionality.

I use this: mpstat -P ALL 1
