if [ "$TERM" = "td200" ]; thenalias top='HOME=/root/.td200 top'fiWait, did I say top has "no" way to configure it from the command line? I meant to say, top has a completely f'brain-damaged way of configuring it from the command line. The options are not absolute, but relative "toggles" which reverse the settings in the .toprc. So, instead of having one option to disable showing idle processes and another option to enable showing them, there is only "-i" which does both, and one can't know which without knowing the contents of the .toprc. Hmmm... this seems to be something that bothers me more than I thought. I've spent quite a bit of time cutting examples of problems in top to keep this rant short and it's still too long. Sorry about that.
