Usage of TOP -U and multiple user accounts

I have the following accounts on a linux server:

user1
user2
user3
user4

If I want to run top with the -u switch and watch processes for all account starting with user... how can I go about doing that?

I tried:

top -u user*

But that doesn't work. I am on SuSE 10.1.

Hi,

and welcome to lq.

You can't

You could, however, run top in batch mode, and use awk or grep to get
only those accounts...



Cheers,
Tink
