Need Help??

top won't run from the commandline with &, so it's not surprising that perl can't do it either.

Are you trying to gather system statistics? If you really want to use top, have you tried top's batch mode (-b option)?

Update: sorry, I thought you were saying 'perl' couldn't run in the background - didn't catch the issue with 'top' until after :-/ ~~What?! This is absolutely false. 'perl' can certainly run in the background!~~ `# perl -e 'print "hello\n"' > test.out 2>&1` [download] `#cat test.out hello` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
