  • Do not show any idle or zombie processes:

  • 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:
