Unlike this question, I'd like to list the 10 main CPU-consuming process, how not in instantaneous CPU usage %, but rather, CPU usage since boot ?
i.e. a process that peaks at 50% CPU during 10 seconds won't be listed and a process constantly using 3% CPU during hours would be listed
If you just want to get a view of the processes usage since up time, then with top you can set it to sort by TIME+ with SHIFT+T. You can also highlight that column with x.
Sample:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4046 fred 20 0 1873812 825068 119016 S 0.7 20.4 31:52.12 firefox 2661 root 20 0 401200 97064 52196 S 5.0 2.4 15:07.41 Xorg 4058 fred 20 0 438056 25568 19388 S 1.0 0.6 1:30.85 panel-29-weathe 4057 fred 20 0 307456 17904 15628 S 0.7 0.4 0:43.47 panel-21-system 3957 fred 20 0 176732 23596 17536 S 0.3 0.6 0:38.32 xfwm4 4096 fred 9 -11 436876 14204 8936 S 0.0 0.4 0:37.12 pulseaudio 5052 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.3 0.0 0:28.04 kworker/2:2 
top .... ? Because I also want ot use it with Android-rooted-device, and I can't do SHIFT T. On Linux:
ps --sort -time -ef | head -n 11
