Yeah, needs to be fixed. Meanwhile, I just committed a small change which makes *top* a bit more useful in this regard: now you can feed it input by pipe: echo .m.s.s.s.s.s.s.q | busybox top -b and it will execute it as if it is entered from keyboard. "." is an invalid key, here is causes top to generate one iteration of output. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
