And then you'd have to recalculate all the time, because a new process can be started at any time under a long User ID.... It would be nicer and if top would use the actual size of the terminal. It truncates the process names on the right even though I have a terminal with 132 columns. Other system performance utilities like systat or vmstat don't use the actual window size either. Michael
