I have a 30+ scripts that are run by the crontab at certain intervals, varying from every 30 minutes to once a month. I would like to know if I can see how much drain they cause when they are running?

Q: Is there a way of seeing the CPU usage/drainage caused by the scripts running by the crontab?

Tried: So far the use of the top command, which lists everthing and not specifically the crontab scripts.

Replace chrome with your script's name. Use comm instead of command so COMMAND will be printed in short description. For more options see man ps.
