Cygwin top command - See processes for all users

Question

Does anybody know how to see the processes for all users using top command in Cygwin (part of procps library under System).

I know this can be done in *nix but I am struggling in Cygwin. I have tried using pslist but it does not behave in a putty SSH console.

I need to have a solution where I can see a top like dialog using SSH. I do not have any NTLM SSO access to the Win2k3 guest at all so ssh is the only way in.

Answer 1

top only displays Cygwin processes. ps -W will list Windows processes as well.

Answer 2

Manytimes the command "tasklist" gets the job done more effectively. It built into windows, just make sure your System32 folder is part of your bash profile PATH. There is also procps itself. You should also try using mintty for your terminal. You could always try attaching any of these task apps to screen, and or using watch to poll the information.
