bash Scripting: Manage CPU intensive processes

To monitor greedy processes, you can use a shell script that checks top performing processes and takes action if the CPU load goes too high. Normally, only a processe where the CPU load has gone beyond 50% is worth monitoring. Since only one process at a time can claim more than 50% of the CPU load, you'll need to display current usage, organized such that processes with the highest CPU loads are listed first, with the result displaying just the top line.
