Limit process number in TOP command outupt
Linux top command prints more than 40 processes. Code:
top -b -n 1 > Top_Output.txt Is there a straight-forward option/way to limit only till the top 5 processes. ( Instead of using head, tail or other unix commands together) Last edited by vbe; 12-03-2012 at 09:35 AM.. Reason: Do you mind using code tags! |

This is the solution: Code:
top -b 5 -n 1 In any way: top [N] where N is the number of the process, any other number after -n will be used as count number. Last edited by vbe; 12-03-2012 at 09:35 AM.. |
