Traditionally "top" takes a number of command line arguments and options. They differ from the command line arguments and options accepted by prstat. > The intent for Phase 2 will be to add features to prstat so > that when prstat is invoked with the name top it will look and > behave similar to the top that comes from: > http://www.unixtop.org/ > > 4.2.

Interfaces: > A link from /usr/bin/top to /usr/bin/prstat. what's the stability level of this, and what's the stability level of command-line options to the prstat-named-top command? BTW, I don't see the value in doing phase 1; if the goal is to get something out there quickly, shipping the current open-source "top" program as part of the sfw consolidation would make more sense. - Bill
