Ivan's top for HP-UX (pa-risc and itanium)

This "top" version for hp-ux is an alternative top the default hp-ux top.

I got fed up with the brain-dead top on HP-UX and I also wanted to learn a bit about programming with libcurses. So I developed a top alternative

Features

• Shows the interesting memory use as opposed to unclear "active" memory
• Can filter on user
• Can filter out idle processes
• Can sort on process id, age, CPU usage, memory usage, accumulative CPU time
• Can toggle per-CPU statistics on/off. This is very useful if your machine has many CPUs
• You can kill and renice processes from within top
• Tries to show more of the process name than just the ucomm
• And the feature you really, really want: when you press 'q' top exits immediately

Download

• top 0.7 source (8KB)
• top 0.7 for itanium (64-bit)
  Note: pstat API returns suspecious values for real and free memory

• top 0.6 source (8KB)
• top 0.6 for PA-RISC (64-bit)

• top 0.5 source (8KB)
• top 0.5 for Itanium
• top 0.5 for PA-RISC (64-bit)

Building top yourself

Edit the makefile. Some of the lines are commented out. Have fun.

Missing features

• Resize top display when window (xterm et al) is resized. This actually works perfectly on Linux, but it seems that curses on HP-UX is broken? Update: scratch that. It works fine on itanium. So it must be curses on pa-risc that are weird.
• Optimize terminal output. Curently top outputs a bit too much for my taste.

Other alternatives

unixtop (unixtop homepage, unixtop at sourceforge) also works quite well.

Maybe something has turned up at The HP-UX Porting Centre
