9830.0. "top for V4?" by LEXS01::GINGER (Ron Ginger) Thu May 15 1997 13:29

    We have become very fond of the top program to watch our systems. We
    have started installing v4.0b, and top doesnt work. I recompiled it and
    it almost works, except the last field where the command is shown is
    blank.
    
    Has anyone got a working top for V4?

9830.2works fine for me...HYDRA::DONSBACHJeff Donsbach, Software Partner Engineering, DTN 297-6862Thu May 15 1997 16:045
I'm actually using the "top" executable that I built a year ago or more
on 3.2C. It seems to still work fine on V4.0.

    Thanks. The top I have been using under v3.2x wont even run on v4. No
    dump or anything, just returns. The one I complied under V4 works, but
    shows no command.
    
    I just checked the README, my top is V3.3. Is that the latest?

V3.4 of top works fine for me on V4.0b.
