Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_22557

Symptoms:
	PHCO_22557:
	1. top(1) output functionality corrected.

	2. Long tty names cause unaligned output for top(1).

	PHCO_14305:
	top(1) displays wrong usernames after the last patch.

	top(1) does not display pseudo terminals under /dev/pts
	directory.

	Extra character in top output at the lower right corner
	of the screen.
	Floating exception when screen is small.

	PHCO_10114:
	top has a long initialization time on systems with NIS.

	PHCO_7035:
	ps -p "proclist" only allows space or comma separated
	list of pids.

	PHCO_6599:
	There is a problem with the output of the top command
	at hpux 10.0.  When the system is lightly loaded,
	everything is okay, but when the system begins to get
	users on it, the output becomes very strange.
	If a system has more than 300 tasks, top displays
	negative cpu usage.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_22557:
	1. top(1) output functionality corrected.

	Resolution:
	   Code has been modified to take care of this issue.

	2. If the tty name of a process is more than 6 characters,
	   the line corresponding to that process in the top output
	   appears to be shifted towards right.  This results in
	   poor legibility.

	Resolution:
	   top(1) will align the process information and the header
	   dynamically based on the length of the longest tty name.

	PHCO_14305:
	top(1) displays wrong usernames after last patch.
	This is due to the collisions while hashing.
	top(1) does not display pseudo terminals under /dev/pts
	directory.
	Extra character in top output at the lower right corner
	of the screen.
	Floating exception when screen is small. This occurs
	when the number of processes which can be displayed on
	the screen becomes zero.

	PHCO_10114:
	The problem occurred due to a linear search of the
	passwd file using getpwent(3C). A section of top was
	recoded to use getpwuid(3C) which has better performance
	under NIS.

	PHCO_7035:
	ps -p "proclist" only allows space or comma separated
	list of pids, not tabs.

	PHCO_6599:
	top displays invalid information if the system has
	more than 300 tasks. The problem is easily reproducable
	on a heavily loaded system, by running top. top will
	display negative values for cpu usage.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_22557

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_22557.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_22557.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	WARNING: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_22557.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_22557.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
