Oh right. Stupid me. However, I have one more issue. Does the option [-n COUNT] works? It doesn't seem to work for me. For example, when I do "top -n 1", it prints the error "top: invalid number '-1' ". I don't know if this matters, but I am on a chroot. Thanks!
FWIW, I let my netbook sleep all the time so memory leaks are possible, but it's ~100MB out of a 1GB for a loaded desktop, with xcompmgr, xscreensaver, and a couple of other background stuffs. My server is ~37MB out of 1.5GB ready and waiting.
If it helps, I have only Lxpanel, Openbox, PCMan Desktop and conky running when it boots and normally idles. I have vnstat and dbus by default. Maybe running sakis3g in the background has an effect too. I'm not using any x effects. My system is pretty custom though since I have bash as my shell, the real grep, ps, kill and several others too. Maybe it makes me run a little lighter than usual?
PS. The top in SliTaz is provided by busybox, so like most of it's commands, it's a cut down version of the original.
Hi, did you read the man page ? Type man top (there is a pseudo "man" command in Slitaz, not the real one, pulling info from the web), or read this online man page. In addition, I think that no space is necessary between the option "-n" and the number. While top -n 1 will produce an error (parsing this as "-1" and not "1"), top -n1 does not.
P.S. Oops, your answer has already been replied. Please forget mine. ;-]
