Not that most people may want any feature unique to top, just that a lot of people know the command "top" but have never heard of "prstat". There was a long discussion 1-2 weeks ago on approach-discuss (which might be a better mailing list for this request) about adding top. The main complaints were that top gets it's information in an architecturally impure way that the ARC might not like [*], but there were several suggestions in the end including: - include top anyway - Include a script which translates arguments and then: exec prstat "$@" - Include a shorter script that just prints "The equivalent Solaris command is prstat" and then exits. For the full thread, see http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=29673&tstart=0 Personally, I don't care what (if any) option is chosen. The only reason I ever use top nowadays is because there's no "prstat" on MacOS or Linux. But then, like several others, I only found about prstat in the first place via someone's reply to a question that asked "where is top on Solaris?". Hugh. [*] see also the excellent lsof.
