Description Justin Clift 2010-05-14 15:32:57 UTC
Description of problem:

The example output from "top" shown in the RHEL 6 Deployement guide (April 2010), 26.1. System Processes, is badly messed up:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-Gathering_System_Information.html

The incorrect example is just prior to table 26.1.  It has the text from the top command wrapping around instead of being column formatted.

Might give newbies a bit of a fright if it actually looked like that. ;)


Actual results:
