Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 20:05:22 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 2 Jaromír Cápík 2013-04-11 13:12:11 UTC
please, retest with 3.3.7 ...

-m switch replaced with more universal -o <field> switch

Example:

top -b -n1 -o %MEM

Comment 3 Branislav Náter 2013-11-04 17:19:45 UTC
Thanks for implementing this option. 

$ rpm -q procps-ng
procps-ng-3.3.8-10.fc19.x86_64

Sort output according memory usage:

$ top -b -n1 -o %MEM | head -n15
