I want to see the results of a top command through my
web browser, but when I try this with my cgi script:
my $output = `top`;
print $output;
I get this error:
top: Unknown terminal "VT100" in $TERM
Is there a way to tell top which "terminal" i'm using?
Or just get it to take a snapshot of the server and
return it back as a string?
top has *lots* of options, two that you could use to capture the
output as a string are -b (for batch mode) and -n 1 (for one
iteration)
It would not help you to set the terminal type because you would then
have to parse the escape sequences top uses for highlighting, etc.
Have a look at man top for more information.
