Problem

I am looking for a PowerShell cmdlet that can provide similar functionality to the Linux Top app. Something that refreshes at some given interval and displays the process list with CPU % util. I have seen scripts that list CPU % utilization in a loop but something like top would be way more handy as we have setup SSH/Powershell access for management (I still prefer a putty shell!)

Fix for: Linux "Top" command for Windows Powershell?

Low Risk

This is a simple one-liner that will also keep the labels at the top: This works because formatting the table without any parameters just drawls the default table. is used to automatically adjust the column width so all the data can fit on screen. Breakdown of the shortened commands: : shortcut for : shortcut for : shortcut for : defaults to using seconds
