# top
ksh: top: not found



please can anybody out there assist me!!!

Sorry, top doesn't come as standard with Solaris. You can get it from

http://www.sunfreeware.com,

however. HTH. Alternatively, use the following script as provided by one of the contributors to these forums, and to whom thanks should go:

#!/bin/sh
############################################################
PS=/bin/ps
CUT=/usr/bin/cut
SORT=/usr/bin/sort
HEAD=/usr/bin/head

if [ -x $PS -a -x $CUT -a -x $SORT -a -x $HEAD ]
then
echo
echo " %CPU PID TIME VSZ USER COMMAND"
echo
$PS -aef -o pcpu= -o pid= -o time= -o vsz= -o user= -o args= |
$CUT -c -130 | $SORT -r | $HEAD -10
else
exit 1
fi

Cheers.

Is top in your korn shell path? Try using the absolute path to top and see if it runs.

top should install in /usr/local/bin if it is not there then you will have to install it.
As Ken said sunfreeware is the spot, download it and it gives you a solaris package
you install with pkgadd.

Thanks all

problem was really simple as someone had been messing about with .profile for root!!!

PATH= /usr/local/bin: now fixed!!!

thanks again
