I tried SSH for the first time yesterday and it is really cool. While logged into my iMac from my Powerbook via SSH I wanted to see running processes and memory usage on the iMac. At the prompt I typed "tops" instead of "top" and got a whole slew of text that basically confused and bewildered me.
Can someone explain (in relatively simple terms) what it is I did (like for instance if invoking "tops" had the potential to or did screw anything up on my machine) and what "tops" is?
To try and satisfy my own curiousity, I looked this command up in man, but that confused me further, so any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
