In order to monitor the CPU usage in an AIX server I'm using the following script that is executed every 10 mins.

lparstat 2 10 > cpu
usage=$(tail -10 cpu | awk 'BEGIN {sum=0;} {sum+=$4} END{print int(100-sum/10)}')


if [[ $usage -ge 90 ]]; then
# mail the error and cpu file to admin
# displaying this for testing purposes
echo "CPU usage off the charts!!!"
cat cpu
fi

However, incase the CPU usage is above 90% I need to list the top 5 Processes that are using the CPU.

How do I achieve this?
