Looks like the -c option is now used by something else. Perhaps this should be closed now, or maybe we could use -R as it seems to be one of the few remaining letters free. :) Chris ========================== Description Several of the system monitoring commands have a "repeat" mode, allowing them to put out a report at specified intervals.

Isn't the functionality of the requested option already supported by top?

I could do that. Perhaps Rich, who submitted the problem report, has a reason for the request though. Let's wait a while, to hear his opinion too :) State-Changed-From-To: suspended->feedback State-Changed-By: rwatson State-Changed-When: Sun Mar 2 14:46:06 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: Transition to 'feedback' as requested by brucec. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46382 State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: vwe State-Changed-When: Thu May 8 21:07:46 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: We're sorry to not see any feedback received for quite some time.
