What can I use instead of iostat cpu?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the proper command to get overal system and user utilization of processors for my RRD statistics.
Right now I'm using [CMD=""]iostat -c 3 cpu | tail -1[/CMD]. Basically I need this weird syntax because [CMD=""]iostat cpu[/CMD] all the time gives me the same data - 1 for user and 3 for system. And only second row of data of iostat output will give a proper data.
So here is my question, does any one know another command to get cpu load in one string that I had no clue about?
 
A nicer way would be to enabled bsnmpd(1) and use SNMP queries to get the CPU stats. That way, you can get nice breakdowns by type (user, sys, int, idle, etc).
 
It's very interesting solution, thanks a lot. But I've decided to get non-SNMP way at all for this case. May be you know another command/programm that will give me an information regarding CPU utilization?
