I know that this forum said "highly technical harware" but I did not see a highly technical 'software' section so I am assuming that I am in the right place. Here is my question...

On the command line in unix Fedora you can run the command 'top.' Top is a program that will give continual reports about the state of the system, including a list of the top cpu using processes. The major focus of it is the "load average:" which shows you what the load on the server is. Below that is lists all of the processes. Does anyone know of a different command that can be used in order to determine what user is using what % of the actual load average? Often times I have high load averages and I have to go through many different commands and pages to try to figure out who is using up so much resources. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wrong place anyways. The software forum is the place for this. (or atually the OS might get more responces). Anyways you need a thread manager, as far as I know there are only gui versions of it, and X is definitly a big resource eater.
