[CentOS] question

[adrian kok]

Hi tim

Thank you for your help

1/ shift+page up works

2/ For the top

- When top in procps version 3.2.0
the output file is empty?

- When top in procps version 2.0.17
The file is fine but the output is truncated eg:
"/usr/sbin/htt" as follow
Do you know how to have whole file eg:
"/usr/sbin/httpd xxxxx"

Thank you again
