It was pointed out to me that there is an error in top.local.h for the
sequent -- VMUNIX should be defined as /dynix not /vmunix. Make sure
you make that modification when you are customizing top.local.h for
your own site. It isn't that way in the one I ade available on
ics.uci.edu simply because our systems have a symlink from /vmunix to
/dynix and I never noticed it. But it will cause some trouble if you
are not aware of it.

No, not really. What was actually pointed out to you is that the version of top on ics.uci.edu has absolutely no thing to do with Sequents. However, getting it to work on Sequents is fairly easy. The change you mention is necessary, but not sufficient. If you had ever actually compiled the version you pointed to on a Sequent, you would know what the other necessary change is. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@helios.ee.lbl.gov ...well!pokey "I can smell the chemicals..."

I'm not quite sure what your problem is, Jef. All those #ifdef sequent's in there are delimiting code I added or modified. It certainly does have quite a lot to do with Sequents. If you are refering to the Makefile changes, I assume that anyone who has ever compiled anything will look at the Makefile and see that some things need to be changed, commented or uncommented. This version was pulled from the sources area RCS directory on our systems. This version is not *only* for the Sequent -- it just has modifications to allow it to function on a Sequent. Otherwise, it is identical to the version on Rice.edu. The Makefile must be modified to get it to compile on the Sequent rather than on some other system. If you are talking about something else, please let me know what it is instead of simply stating that some mysterious change is necessary. I *have* compiled this version on both of our Sequents. It tends to work just fine.

So have I, except that top's "SIZE" field does not match the "SZ" field of "ps auxw" on Balance nor Symmetry, and top's "RES" field does not come near ps's "RSS" field on the Balance. This has not worked since Top version 1. I tend to believe the "ps" command. Top would be more useful if it worked correctly on the Sequent. Sure it displays the top cpu users, but so does: ps auxw | sort -n -r +2 -3 | head -10 Patrick Wolfe (pat@kai.com, {uunet,uiucuxc,sequent}!kailand!pat) System Manager, Kuck and Associates, Inc.

Many makefiles use the heuristic that the presence of /vmunix means
a berkeley machine. So many, in fact, that long ago I did a "ln -s
/dynix /vmunix". Solved a number of headaches.

So many, in fact, that long ago I did a "ln -s > /dynix /vmunix". Solved a number of headaches. I have tried to compile top2.5 on a Sequent Symmetry S81, but it fails: - cc -c -O -DTable_size=449 -DDefault_TOPN=-1 -DDefault_DELAY=1 top.c - cc -O -c display.c - cc -O -c kernel.c - "kernel.c", line 114: p_addr undefined - "kernel.c", line 114: member of structure or union required - "display.c", line 266: CPUSTATES undefined - "display.c", line 288: CPUSTATES undefined - "display.c", line 304: CPUSTATES undefined - "display.c", line 542: p_tsize undefined - "display.c", line 542: member of structure or union required - "top.c", line 1180: p_tsize undefined - "top.c", line 1180: member of structure or union required - "top.c", line 1181: member of structure or union required Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong ? - It seems that everone else has succeeded in compiling top on a sequent, or is there only a better version of top than 2.5 ??
