Description dwmalone 1999-11-20 01:18:04 UTC
Top seems to have behavior unlike any other version of top I've
used. I've one bug and one feature request.

1) Running top through rsh bogusly reports that TERM is set to
VT100 - I note that strings shows that VT100 is a string in top.
Other versions of top seem to show 24 lines of output in the
situation where they are not connected to a tty. (Note, $TERM
definitely doesn't contain VT100):
1:21:walton 71% rsh graves top
top: Unknown terminal "VT100" in $TERM
1:21:walton 72% rsh graves echo $TERM
xterm

2) When sending a signal top only allows you to give the number
of one process, it would be nice to be able to give a list. Also
it would be nice if you could give the signal number on the PID
line, so you can do something like "k -9 3927 7320 9327".
