top command in RHEL3 and RHEL4

[Tonatiuh]

In RHEL3 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3) the top command shows me une line by each CPU whith details about the % of usage of each CPU.

In RHEL4 I can only see (by default) a line with de avergae usage of all CPUs.

How can I see the top command in RHEL4 with same separeted details for each CPU as in RHEL3.

don't know the reason for this, (bug,code change) but a workaround is to dwnload gkrellm-2.1.21-1.src.rpm and use it. It shows all cpu's and much more.

[Tonatiuh]

does that packages sustitute to top command? is another utility? what is exactly?

[Darrin St. Amant]

it pretty much gives you everything TOP does.

GKrellM is a single process stack of system monitors which supports applying themes to match its appearance to your window manager, Gtk, or any other theme.

You can toggle between showing each cpu or the total by typing "1". You can save your current settings to ~/.toprc by typing "W". That will give you the same display the next time you start top.
