[bin:top] 5 seconds is too much before displaying

[diver]

Currently one have to wait 5 seconds before top will display process list, this is too much when you just want to quickly look around. It is also is too limited in options, maybe there is a bsd version?

ps might be the tool you want to use then. top needs a little time to be able to display valid stats.

The problem is that the default delay for top is 5 seconds. But that delay shouldn't be applied before showing the initial screen.

Thanks Jerome, ps will do for now. BTW (sorry for offtopic), could you please have a look at auich driver in wrt VirtualBox, pretty please? :-)

Still here in hrev38300.

Since top supports setting the interval time between updating, can this be closed?

> top --help
usage: top [-d] [-i interval] [-n ntimes]
 -d,          do not clear the screen between displays
 -i interval, wait `interval' seconds before displaying
 -n ntimes,   display `ntimes' times before exiting
Default is clear screen, interval=5, ntimes=infinite

Can't commit yet, but when in "infinite iterations" mode, the first iteration will be done in half a second, then the others will follow the requested delay.

Applied in hrev42969. Thanks a lot and sorry for the delay!

Oh.. I'm sorry. I should have committed this myself before.. it slipped out of my mind. Thanks!!
