ask about top command

Hi All,

Sometimes i confused about linux top command. Generally, i know that its command provide me some information about cpu load, memory usage, and uptime. But do you have any links/information that can explain the usage of linux top command for detail ?

Maybe about what is the maximum load of the cpu ? or if we type top on our linux box, there will be two cpu percentage but why the percentage is different between them ? or what is zombie and sleeping process and how the process become on those state ?

Thanks before :)

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The manual for top has a lot of info that may help you. Run a terminal and enter the command "man top".

thanks for your reply, but is there any documentation/information about top command that has the picture of it, so it will be more understandable. and what about my other questions ?

thanks :)
