Thanks for taking your time on this.
When I run:
Quote:
$./myscript -u root data.txt
this is what I get as the output is:
Quote:
TOP ANALYSIS REPORT

Name: root
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| USER | PROCESS | PROC ID | % CPU | % MEM | PRIORITY |
|-----------------+-------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------|
| root | init | 1 | 0.0 | 0.1 | 20 |
| root | migration/0 | 1008 | 2.0 | 1.8 | 1 |
| root | watchdog/0 | 5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But it shouldn't give the priority column without -p command in the terminal. do you know why I get this??
