Becki, By default, top is sorting by CPU usage. You can change the sort order once you enter top by pressing the letter o. Or letter f will enable/disable columns you wish to view. Letter h will give you a list of options available inside top. You can also choose to view only processes of a certain user by entering top -u (username) -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
