One thing to mention: the top command is pretty useless when the number of processors is big. It just complains about not enough space on the screen ("Sorry, terminal is not big enough") and won't show any processors. It appears that correct behavior should be showing processors screen by screen on spacebar or something like that. Thanks, --Natalie
