About:
Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even if processes have finished during the interval), daily logging of system and process activity for long-term analysis, highlighting overloaded system resources by using colors, etc. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks, and network layers, and for every active process it shows the CPU utilization, the memory growth, priority, username, state, and exit code.

[»] great tool!
by Robert de Bock - Sep 3rd 2002 08:21:26

atop is a tool, which is not like any others I know. Try it, for it will give you other information about your system then "conventional" tools like top. I use it on our productive systems. At least once a day atop runs on all machines, to observe the difference in processes between two intervals.
