  • No output: Ensure that the command has access to the necessary system permissions and that the system is under sufficient load for meaningful data to be collected.
  • Unexpected behavior: If the command behaves erratically or produces unexpected results, verify the syntax and options used.

Integration

Generate a CPU Usage Report:

CPU_AND_S -r > cpu_usage_report.txt

Monitor System Load over Time:

CPU_AND_S -r | grep 'Load average:' | tail -n 50
