Usage Guidelines You can terminate TopN processes with the background option specified only by using the clear top
[report_num] command.
TopN reports with the background option specified are not displayed on the screen unless you enter a
show top report [report_num] command.
If you do not specify the background option, the output TopN results are dumped to the screen when
the task is done, and the results are printed one time only and are not saved.
You can terminate TopN processes (without the background option) by pressing Ctrl-C in the same
Telnet or console session, or by entering a clear top [report_num] command from a separate Telnet or
console session. The prompt is not printed before the TopN report completely displays. Other comm ands
are blocked until the report has displayed.
