I remember that it was very difficult to make ps accept its
options, but it is possible. The man page is really crap. I
don't have the line handy right now, but I can look it up on
monday.

Yes, it produces full output as long as the terminal window has at
least eight lines. If the window is smaller, top only writes the
headers but no process information.

Yes, that's it. Setting LINES to a big value makes top produce
full output. Now, how can I protect LINES from being reset when
the window is resized?

Yes, with a way to make top produce output in a 20x1 window a
background process is not necessary.

Unfortunately the read command above will not work reliably which
complicates things a lot. The number of space separated words in
the top output varies:
354 luthien 8 0 2000 2000 1376 S 0.0 1.5 0:00 zsh
525 luthien 13 5 1148 1148 932 S N 0.0 0.9 0:00 startx

My solution looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/zsh
emulate zsh
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
function topcpu ()
{
local p=0 pid rest
LINES=10 COLUMNS=200 top -d 2 -c -b -s -n 1 |
while read pid rest; do
[[ $pid == PID ]] && { p=1; continue }
(( p )) && {
if [ ! $rest[57,60] = "top " ]; then
print -n "\n"$pid ${rest[44,48]## ##}% ${rest[57,99]}
fi
return
}
done
}
topcpu
if [ -n $1 ]; then
while true; do
sleep $1 2> /dev/null
topcpu
done
fi
---------------------------------------------------------------
To circumvent the problem of the window being resized, the
function is called in a loop with a single pass of top each.
I call it from xterm:
xterm -g 20x1 -font 5x7 +sb +aw +ah -e topproc 15
Unfortunately I can't make the cursor the same colour as the
window background. Although xterm allows to set the colour, it
ignores the setting if it's identical to the background colour.
I guess I'll have to live with that (it *is* possible to solve,
even with the themes setup in fvwm, but it's not worth the
effort).
Bye
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
