looking for prstat -m command equivalent in Linux

Hi Folks,

I'm relatively new to Linux world and I'm learning shell scripting. I've a shell script working well in Solaris system that uses prstat command. After a lot of research, I found out that top is equivalent to prstat in Linux platform.
1. top -b -d 1 -n 1 | head -207 // in linux
2. prstat -n200 1 1

Are the above two commands equivalent?
Also, I'm looking for a command that is close to the command:
prstat -m -n200 1 1
I've been looking for a similar command in linux, and couldn't find any. Please help.

The best way to figure that out is to run them, and compare the output. Also, if you're new to Linux, you should check out the Unix Rosetta Stone:

Honestly, the man pages would be your best place to start. Read the man page on prstat, and on top. Compare the flags/switches, and see if any do what you're after. It's an arduous process, to be sure, but it WILL help you learn quickly.

It looks like the top command is only one of the Linux commands that may replace prstat. Check out the others on the Rosetta stone.
