Actually, it can: #top p <pid> follows a single process; add the 'b' flag for batch mode, and it produces output suitable for redirecting to a file or piping to a program: #top bp <pid> > filename Use '^C' to stop the process, or the 'n' flag to specify how many iterations to go through. Do 'man top' for further detail. Patrick -- Patrick Wiseman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux user #17943 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
