Hi,
I need to monitor a workstation (Centos 5 x86_64).
I need to obtain informations about :
- cpu utilization per user, per a period, how many days per user,
Any ideas about a good and simple free tool ?

Have a look at Munin.
http://munin.projects.linpro.no/
You can install it from the RPMForge repo.
# yum install munin

Install smpd on workstation and then use any snmp supported tool like nagios ...

Nagios does not do snmp at all (some plugins do), also metrics (aka performance data) is just the weakest spot in nagios. To get cpu utilization per user you propably need psacct.

Nagios does not do snmp at all (some plugins do), also metrics (aka performance data) is just the weakest spot in nagios. To get cpu utilization per user you propably need psacct.
At the same time, it is "easy" to create a plugin with any data you want (by using psacct by example). Only thing is that the data length is limited... By example, the plugin just has to return on stdout something like: description|var1=value1;warn_value;critical_value;base_value;max_value var2=value2;... Example for a memory plugin, just output: MEMORY OK - RAM Used: 23% (728MB/3041MB), SWAP Used: 0% (0MB/2932MB)|RAM=728MB;2736;2888;0;3041 SWAP=0MB;2902;2932;0;2932 But again, the part after the '|' is limited in length (I think it used to be 229 chars max from old tests)... So if you have a lot of users data, you won't be able to put them all in this line. Unless you create like 1 plugin per user or some trick like that... And to graph, you can use the PnP nagios plugin.
But all this is only worth it if you need to monitor many servers...

In addition to the other suggestions (although those are typically used for system-level monitoring), you should look into the "psacct" package. There is an introduction to it here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-log-user-activity-using-process-accounti...

Perhaps an overkill, but the mention of NAGios prompted me to suggest this: Zabbix
But a fairly integrated piece of work and can scale
CentOS 5 http://andrewfarley.com/sysadmin/zabbix-rpms-updated-to-1-8-1-in-my-reposito...
Some users were wondering if that could be hosted in RPM forge or similar
