Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Collecting data from TOP to a file Post 6507 by LivinFree on Thursday 6th of September 2001 12:11:14 AM

I checked the man page here at work for top(1). Try using the -f flag. For example, top -f proc.log will save the first 16 processes to the file proc.log. top -n 37 -f proc-long.log will save the first 37 processes to a file called proc-long.log. For more information, please check out man 1 top on your system.

[Note: The flags and arguments are not always portable between systems. Please check the top manpage on your flavor before using]

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
