Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting no data redirected to a file with top and grep - why? Post 302188619 by era on Thursday 24th of April 2008 03:28:22 AM

uvrakesh: if "top -b >cpu.dat" worked then the output was not being written to stderr.

My copy of top (Ubuntu Linux 7.10) writes to stdout. But it keeps on looping even with the -b option, so I don't have exactly the same version.

fongthai: if top -b >cpu.dat works then does grep ^Cpu cpu.dat work? That would be a workaround at least.
