[erlang-questions] top(1) in Erlang

I'm trying to write a process monitor akin to Unix's top(1) for
Erlang processes. Is there any way to determine how long a given
process spent with the CPU over the last X units of time? The
scheduler has to know this, does it expose that information? Does
something like this already exist that I'm missing?
erlang:process_info/1 returns the following for a given process:
[{current_function,{hipe_icode_coordinator,coordinate,4}},
{initial_call,{erlang,apply,2}},
{status,waiting},
{message_queue_len,0},
{messages,[]},
{links,[]},
{dictionary,[]},
{trap_exit,false},
{error_handler,error_handler},
{priority,normal},
{group_leader,<0.30.0>},
{heap_size,6765},
{stack_size,6},
{reductions,8193},
{garbage_collection,[{fullsweep_after,65535}]}]
Is reductions close to what I want? Will that increment for things
other than function calls? Does that matter?
