unfortunately there is no top command so I got to write a script to execute the ps command every 3s and write results to a file.[/b]

--- Quote End ---

Hi,

well, I wrote that script and it works fine with one exception:

I want to launch the ps command every 3s and save results in mfm.txt till the q key is pressed.

I&#39;m still testing it in Redhat before implementing it in µClinux.

The only problem is how to get the q key stopping the execution of the script

# ##################################

# !/bin/sh

touch mfm.txt

until [ "$*" = "q" ];

do

sleep 3

date >> mfm.txt

ps >> mfm.txt

echo " " >> mfm.txt;

done

# ##################################

Can anybody help me with that ?

Warm Regards
