top command truncates output

[Rav]

Hi,I would agree that I can use ps command to get the cpu utilization of various process.
But ps command gives me the average cpu utilization. I want realtime cput utiliztion of the processes.
Any other way to get the realtime cpu utilization other than using top.Top is truncating the output as I mentioned in the mail.Thanks,Rav

what are you trying to do, exactly? i would suggest using ps instead of top.
i don't think top will line wrap, meaning, if you want to get the full
command, you'll have to use ps.
since you can use ps to order by process cpu%, etc, and also get the full
command, you might want to try that :D
for example, this will list the cpu utilization and the full command, and
sort by cpu utilization:$ ps -ax -k pcpu -o pcpu,command
or you can shorten it to:$ ps axk pcpu o pcpu,commandgood luck!chet
