Created attachment 378537 [details] patch to add -m option to top.c Description of problem: We need to be able to capture output from 'top' in batch mode, but sort the processes via memory consumption. Currently this option is only available in interactive mode via Shift-M Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.7 Additional info: Please mark this as a feature request if that is appropriate. I'm attaching a patch to the procps-3.2.7 SRPM that would add a "-m" option that would automatically sort by memory usage. It would be great if this type of option could be added to this, as well as the RHEL4 package as well.
