# top
> Display dynamic real-time information about running processes.
- Start top:
`top`
- Do not show any idle or zombie processes:
`top -i`
- Show only processes owned by given user:
`top -u {{user_name}}`
- Show only the processes with the given PID(s), passed as a comma-separated list. (Normally you wouldn't know PIDs off hand. This example picks the PIDs from the process name):
`top -p $(pgrep -d ',' {{process_name}})`
- Get help about interactive commands:
`?`
