It should be in /usr/bin/. Making top(1) tell you about prstat might be acceptable if that doesn't intrude too much (i.e., find some unused whitespace in the top screen, or steal a line of output and display a note there -- don't make the user have to "click through" such a note). How about re-implementing top to work the way prstat does (i.e., make it more efficient) but keeping the top UI? > I've not kept up with the SFW or related discussions, which is where > this will most likely take place. The conclusion of those discussions is to integrate/move all non- conflicting commands into /usr/bin (with symlinks left behind where commands are being moved).
