Thank you.. The output will be sufficient for a quick and dirty peek at the CPU hogs.

---------- Post updated at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:51 AM ----------

my hpux solution:
top -d 1 -n 10 -f /tmp/file; tail -11 /tmp/file

my Linux (RHEL) solution:
top -b -n 1 | sed -e "1,6d" | head -11

fyi...

NAME
wmforkplop - Monitors forking activity and displays top CPU consuming processes. SYNOPSIS
wmforkplop [options] DESCRIPTION
wmforkplop is a program that monitors the forking activity of the kernel and displays a list of the most CPU-consuming processes. Although primarily aimed at Windowmaker, it will run on any window manager, either as a dockapp or as a standard X11 application. Option list: -h, --help print this. -v, --verbose increase verbosity -V, --version print version --fontpath path add a new directory to the font search directory list default: --fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/truetype (and subdirectories) --fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/ttf (and subdirectories) --fontpath=$HOME/.fonts (and subdirectories) --font fontname/size Set the 'small font' name/size in pixel (default: --smallfont=Vera/6 The font name are case-sensitive, and must corre- spound to the name of a .ttf file which can be found in one of the fontpaths By default, wmforkplop tries to load the following fonts: * Vera/6, DejaVuSansMono/6, Andale_Mono/6, Verdana/6, Trebuchet_MS/7 -c n, --colormap=n select colormap number n (0 <= n <= 5) -g[=WxH+x+y], --geometry[=WxH+x+y] start in window (i.e. undocked) mode with specified geometry (i.e -g 96x32 or -g 64x64+0+0) --32, --48, --56 start in a reduced dockapp, for people whose dock is too small too contain 64x64 dockapps --no-top disable the wmtop feature, you will only see the fork animation. --no-fork disable the fork animation, you will only see the list of top processes. --threshold=n minimum CPU consumption (%) of a process listed in the top-list (default 3%) -u n, --proc-update-delay=n set the delay between two reads of /proc, the default is 150 (milliseconds). Setting a small value gives accurate results, but con- sumes more CPU as reading /proc is quite expensive. See /usr/share/doc/wmforkplop/README.gz for more details. AUTHOR
