Process seen in "ps aux" but not "top"
Hi,

I have a process that can be seen after "ps aux" command.
However when I do "top" command. This process
cannot be seen.

How can this happen? Is there anything wrong
with my code?

Top will show the processes that are using the max of a certain resource (by default, it is CPU usage). You may have to scroll down a few pages in top to see your process if it is not resource intensive. Also, what OS are you using? The top command will also differ from OS to OS.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I already scrolled down the pages
still couldn't find the process.

I'm using Linux Redhat Enterprise

Code:
$ uname --all
$ Linux voyager.com.sg 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 5 17:13:01 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Run top in a batch mode. On HP, there is an option that allows you to select the number of processes that top should output in each iteration. If you have something like that, set it to a very large value (something like 5000). Run top with these options and redirect the output to a file. You will find the process that you are looking for in that file.
