Question about the "top" command line when using cron perl scripts

[kungphu]

Hi,

How do I get top to display the name of the file being interpreted rather than it just dislpaying perl under the command field?

The cron files are making system calls to perl

system perl somefile.pl

or

./somefile.pl

I'm not sure what you're looking for here, can you be more descriptive? Where is there a command field under a crontab entry?

$0 (zero) displays the calling scripts name IIRC

Try "top -c".

Hi paul, the command field does not relate to the crontab entry, if you run top from the command line on fedora, it shows what processeses are running.

Thanks for that Tony, I can now see which scripts are being called and how they are being called
