HI

 

Thanks for reply,

 

I want to capture initial header part in which we have info process ,
total memory usages etc ...

Then process and memory usage usage of process , it can be only first
100 process.

 

 

I tried running top -b -n 1 command but which does not show initial
header information.

 

Please help me in this regards.

 

 

What exactly are you getting with that command that is different from
what you want ?

 

$ top -b -n1 | head -n5
