Hello.


I am looking for a precompiled version of the "top" command available on
LINUX for a RISC running AIX 4.2

Does anyone have any ideas on where to get it. Or for that matter, if it
even exists!! Is there a compatible utility if not??

By the way, this command shows (in real time) the hits to the CPU.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

Eric,
The little gem you want is called monitor, I was given it by an IBM
CE, but I've seen it out on the net someplace. The author Jussi Maki:

Email: jm...@csc.fi URL: http://www.csc.fi/~jmaki

as listed in the man pages. It doesn't look exactly like top, but gives
all the same info. And it is ascii based so you can run it on a dumb
tube.
