This code takes the current load of a specific process and indicates this on the LedBorg by displaying colours to represent different process loads.

Usage:
./procmon.sh name
where name is the process to monitor (use ps -A to list all current processes.

Colour displayed is the range from ~0% (<0.1%)(Blue) to 100% (Red). Black is used when no such process is running

To run in the background call with an ampersand (&) at the end of the command, use killall to stop the program when finished, for example:
./procmon.sh find &
find /.
killall procmon.sh

For a better example find some source which uses gcc to build and try the following:
./procmon.sh cc1&
cd SOURCE_DIR
make
killall procmon.sh

• To make script executable
  chmod +x procmon.sh
• To copy to programs (use without ./ and .sh)
  sudo cp procmon.sh /usr/local/bin/procmon

Here's the code, you can download procmon script file as text here
Save the text file on your pi as procmon.sh
