Hello and thanks for the info. My question is about a top. how I can specify a process in top command. What I want to do is to monitor only two processes and want to specify those process and have the output continually stored in a text file.
your 10. Turn ps into an realtime process viewer is great but I can’t save its output continually in a txt file.

Thank you!

In reply to Musthafa.

ps -ef is the POSIX standard form and ps aux is the BSD form [not that there is no hyphen]
Currently both systems accept any of the two forms.
-e and au are equivalent and -f implies full listing while u in aux implies user oriented.
