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).
One thing I've noticed with at least Ubuntu is the version of top(1) that's shipped differs in a number of ways from the "classic" top that William LeFebvre maintains at http://www.groupsys.com/topinfo/ I think even the man page alludes to it being a reimplementation. So I would prefer seeing prstat(1M) augmented to provide missing information that top provides *where* it makes sense and perhaps provide a compatibility mode to prtstat (which /usr/bin/top could invoke.) dsc _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
