Sorting top command output in HP_UX 11.11
Hello all,

I've been woking on Solaris and Linux (Red Hat) so far but now I've inherited an HP-UX system and having minor issues with syntax...Appreciate if you could help me out here..

1) I'm trying to sort the output of the top command in HP-UX 11.11 by pressing O (capital O) after typing the top command but it has no effect. I'm able to do this on Solaris and Linux successfully..I even tried M (capital M) to sort the top output by memory but no effect again. Am I missing something here?

2) another question unrelated to the above question...How do I navigate through different screens after typing the "glance" command? I tried F1 to F8 but did not notice anticipated results...


Thanks for you time...

My HPUX had man for top and glance, top does not admit to such options, glance has letter commands if your function keys do not connect -- mine do not:
