Mpstat reports per-processor statistics in
tabular form. Each row of the table represents the activity of one
processor. All values are rates (events per second) unless otherwise noted.
mpstat reports the following information:
CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl
0 0 0 1 62 3 32 18 4 0 0 70889 22 78 0 0
2 0 0 0 71 3 44 24 4 0 0 71157 23 77 0 0
CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl
0 0 0 0 74 7 30 17 4 0 0 69732 23 77 0 0
2 0 0 0 66 7 44 24 4 0 0 71116 20 80 0 0
In the above example the machine is reporting zero percent idle, this
was traced to two orphaned processes.
