The C column is only enabled on SMP machines, and it displays the last cpu this process has run on. This field is only shown by top(1) AFAICT and not by ps(1), so we should probably do two things: a. Update the top(1) manpage -- adding a description of what C displays b. Add a similar column to ps(1), so that top & ps output are as similar as possible. I'll see if I can update both during the following days :-)
