I’m trying top monitor the memory use. However, the memory unit in top is KiB which is totally unreadable. How can I make it display in MiB? Google tells me that top -M can be used in RHEL or ubuntu, why can’t it work in opensuse 13.1?

The option doesn’t seem to be in the build.
You might look at htop - I find it to be a better tool for ‘top’
information.

And of course the information belonging to the version of top on your system is to be found by doing
man top
on that very system. Which is not nesseceraly the same as the ones you find on the Internet.
OK, I switched to htop. Need sometime to get used to it but it seems much more powerful.
