I am new to UBUNTU... couldn't solve reading the above posts...
Help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you read the top command, it gives the commands. Anything I type here will be just a copy and paste form the page so is a pointless excercise.

I tried the mentioned commands... See the output below..
