Thanks for going through the effort to try it out! I figured that a proc monitor was doing some kernel leve stuff and wouldn't compile on a foreign kernel, so I didn't even try. By "port... foe the Mac" I meant simply port, not MacPort.
I live two totally isolated lives on my Mac. In my professional life I do everything from a shell. Give me iTerm, ssh, scp, vim, (Gnu) screen, and mysql, and I'm happy. In my personal life I like the ooey GUI benefits of the Mac, for photo and video management, etc. So, for anyone else out there, I'm still looking for a good "top" app. On 8/20/07, Ryan Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Aug 19, 2007, at 22:59, Richard Bronosky wrote: > > > The top program on Linux is interactive and extremely useful.
