Top is included in the open source software collection for Tru64. You install it using the rpm command. But first, you need to install the rpm command with:

/mnt/SETUP/RPM-init.ksh

If you mounted the cdrom in /mnt. Then use:

rpm -ivh /mnt/RPMS/alpha/top*.rpm


Consider using collect instead of top.

Or, you could suck down the source kit,
build it, and install it.

ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/

You can download top command from here, http://www.tru64.org/pages.php?page=Software

It is on the Tru64 UNIX Freeware CD-ROM tooo

Note that

http://www.tru64.org/pages.php?page=Software

leads to

http://www.tru64.org/dl/top-3.5.tar.Z

while

ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/

offers the current released version,

ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/top-3.5.1.tar.Z
ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/top-3.5.1.tar.gz

as well as some version 3.6 beta kits.

Of course, the newest code is not always the
best code, but 3.5.1 seems to work for me,
in this environment:

urtx# sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Sat Jan 28 11:47:04 CST 2006

urtx# cc -V
Compaq C V6.5-303 (dtk) on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)
Compiler Driver V6.5-302 (dtk) cc Driver

(But so did 3.5beta12, which is what I was
using until now.)
