How to make Mac OS X's top display like GNU's top?

Anyone know? I don't really like Mac OS X's top displays things.

"htop" is in MacPorts (I'm a fan of htop myself).

You could try compiling and installing GNU top, dunno if the procps package actually runs on OS X though since it mentions /proc directly and that's a very implementation-specific thing.

Unfortunately, the main source for htop also requires /proc. However, I'm currently macports on OS X 10.4, so hopefully it works.

I don't remember where I found it, but I use this:

top -s1 -o cpu -R -F

Works out pretty well.

Interesting. Installation of Macports works on Mac OS X 10.4, but the website only has the latest downloads for 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7. And htop works!
