When I run my Java app in full-screen, I have no idea how much CPU it is taking up. Is there any way to log the CPU activities when I'm in full-screen (via terminal or something) ?

Should I even ask?

Yeah, use another computer and log in via SSH, then run top.

1. That's rather annoying. Does that work with Ubuntu Linux / Windows XP?

2. No better way?

I know that, but it doesn't give a huge history of CPU usage.

Yes. Ubuntu includes an SSH client. For Windows, you'll have to install one.

Um, no, of course not. If you're filling the screen, you're gonna have to use another screen.

Or...

Before you start your app, enter the Terminal and type 'top -l 0 > toplog'.

When you're done, go back to that Terminal window and Ctrl-C to quit top.

'toplog' will be a raw file with all the data. Use your favorite data scraper to parse out what you want.

'more toplog'

toplog is a text file, not a program. more is a program that will read toplog, although you might want to use less because less is indeed more than more.

Oh don't confuse the poor guy!
