Filter top -bc -n10 output
Hi

"top -bc -n10" gives me the output of the "top" command 10 times.

Now i dont want repeated results and hence want to return only the last output.

And I would like to do it in one command and not in script.

can you please help me out?

Thanks

Not sure I understand - why don't you just drop the -n10?
What about an alias?

I have read in articles that top command returns accurate command after executed few times. Hence we want to execute top command 10 times and then capture the data.

I dont want to send the 10 outputs over the network, and only send the last output of top.
