服务器cpu使用率不高，load比较高，所以要查看一下IO。硬盘IO可以通过命令vmstat或iostat获得（也可以用yum 安装dstat获得），网络IO可以用iftop命令获取。但是不知道那个进程使用硬盘IO比较高，通过查找没有找到相关命令，只好自己写个脚本进行统计处理。
　　本脚本在CentOS6下（kernel2.6以上）python2.6测试通过。
　　直接运行脚本，默认情况下收集3秒钟数据，显示读写最高的前三个进程。如用参数可以使用命令“python fhip.py 4 5 3”，第一个数位每次收集读写数据的间隔秒数，第二个数是打印出读写最多的n个进程，第三个为运行脚本的次数。因为参数部分写的比较简单那，所以用参数必须3个全写。
