How to see all processes using TOP

[Stephen Keogh]

I wish to extract the size field for all Oracle processes using "top". How do I script this command to show all processes and not be restricted by the maximum number of processes per screen.
I really need the size from "top" and not from "ps" ...

Many thanks for any help on this one

top -d 1 -n 1000 -f

will output 1000 processes to which you can easily view and grep out your oracle processes.

Steve,

Just looking at the man page, it would appear that something like "top -n 999999 -f FILENAME" would put everything into the file called FILENAME. You could then use the file as input to extract your size.
