Hi, I have dual p4 system with Redhat Enterpise server 4.0. However if i use "top" and it does only show cpus % utilization but it would not show cpu0 and cpu1 utilization. I check man page. It mentioned "1" as toggle for CPU states but I can't get to work. If you do know right syntax then please let me know. I will be appreciated your feedback. Thank you in advance, Johnny Chow

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/top.1.html - Talks about using "W" to create a default config file. Maybe you can create one and edit it. 5b. PERSONAL Configuration File This file is written as '$HOME/.your-name-4-top' + 'rc'. Use the 'W' interactive command to create it or update it. Here is the general layout: global # line 1: the program name/alias notation " # line 2: id,altscr,irixps,delay,curwin per ea # line a: winname,fieldscur window # line b: winflags,sortindx,maxtasks " # line c: summclr,msgsclr,headclr,taskclr If the $HOME variable is not present, top will try to write the personal configuration file to the current directory, subject to permissions WILL POST FOR FOOD.

Thank you, execute "top" and press "1" then it will show multip cpu states. Thank you in advance,

FYI after executing top and pressing 1, do as Zenith says and press W (NB that's an upper case W) to write the config file to your home directory, then in future it will always show multiple CPUs on starting top without the need to press 1.
