That's an excellent idea :) Should we also allow for limiting by other stuff too, i.e. like the 'l' command in the mail/mutt mailer accepts a 'limit pattern' with a syntax like: Limiting by PID ~p minpid-maxpid only show pids in [minpid...maxpid] ~p <maxpid only show pids less than maxpid ~p >minpid only show pids greater than minpid Limiting by username or user ID ~u username only show processes of user `username' ~U uid only show processes of user uid ~U uidmin-uidmax only show processes of users minuid-maxuid Limiting by number of threads ~t minthr-maxthr only show processes with minthr-maxthr threads ~t <maxthr only show processes with less than maxthr threads ~t >minthr only show processes with more than minthr threads Limiting by priority ~P minpri-maxpri only show processes with minpri-maxpri priority ~P <maxpri only show processes with less than maxpri priority ~P >minpri [...] You get the idea... > What is the best way to get (such) a feature added to "top?!"
