Answer 1

1. You need to write a crontab which will run after every second and log the output of the following...
   a) If you want the process record ---- ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -r -k1
   b) If you want the machine record ---- top -b -n 1|grep Cpu|cut -d " " -f 3 (looks that you want this)

2. Keep the command in the shell script (say a.sh) and provide the permission as 777

3. Now use the crontab and write the output to a file. Now you have per minute update going to a file.

4. Now wite another script which will again be cron job with 10 Min frequency and -
   a) return the max of this file
   b) clean the file created in step 3.
