Memory fault from "top" command

[Peter Noel]

What is causing a "memory fault" when I issue the "top" command?
I am running HPUX 10.20, HP9000, J2240 box.

[Mel Burslan]

since you mentioned memory fault, I am assuming this is followed by a phrase "coredump"

you should have a file name core in the directory where you invoked top from.

run commands

file core

and

what core

they will give both you and us here what to look for.

most probably you are lacking some patches.

Almost certainly you need the top cumulative patch, PHCO_22556.
