tw_top

The tw_top utility provides a filter on the top utility which enables you to view just BMC Discovery processes. The top utility displays and updates a list of processes, ordered by default by CPU usage. You can use other sorting and display criteria. For more information see the top documentation, man page, or when the utility is running press ? to display help.

Tip

The process and service command lines are long so it works best with a wider terminal window.

Options in the utility specify which processes and services to display. To use the utility, type the following command:

tw_top [options] 

where options are any of the options described in the following table and the common command line options described in Using-command-line-utilities.

The default is to show all services and ECA engines.
