simple usage of sort command

I’d like to check the utilization of every CPU cores, so I typed top command and press 1, but it cant not display.

whth the warning：Sorry, terminal is not big enough

So I should use mpstat command , just input “mpstat -P ALL”, it can oupt utlization of each cups.

If I need to query real time utilization for 1000 times,interval is 2 seconds.

mpstat -P ALL 2 1000

[root@rac02 ~]# mpstat -P ALL 2 1000

Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 (rac02.itas.com.na) 08/16/2018 _x86_64_ (80 CPU)

but I want to show utilization of %user by descending order.I can use

sort command. As shown in the following.

[root@rac02 ~]# mpstat -P ALL | grep -v “Linux” |sort -k4nr

09:11:51 AM 42 25.88 0.00 2.96 0.01 0.00 0.61 0.00 0.00 70.54

sort -k4nr

-k4: oder by forth column. By default, each column is delimited by a space，

If you want to delimit by other characters, use the -t: delimiter, such as

sort -k4nr-t: with a colon as the delimiter

n: order by number value

r: decesending orader
