<p>> When the environment variable CPULOOP=1 is set properly (with export), the CPULOOP=1 variable setting does have the intended effect of hiding the first top display on my CentOS 6.5 system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So top doesn't match the behavior described in man page, or the version you have doesn't support the feature?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Are you trying this from the command line or from the Xymon client config?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Does this work:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>CPULOOP=1 top -b -n 1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>On the only system available to me right now (old-ish Debian) top doesn't seem to support this. Instead:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>$ top -b -n2 | sed '1,/^top/d'<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You could try adding this into your xymonclient-linux.sh script on your client host.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Note that this will make each run take 5 seconds longer. Probably not a problem though.<o:p></o:p></p>
