{bb} Anyone got a valid 'top' equivalent for AIX?

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT@nibco.com>]

We had a situation this weekend where one of our most important systems
went massively busy for about 3 hours. So busy that a root crontab
script that runs every 15 minutes took 14 minutes to start -- and it's a
1-line shell script that echos a row of '===' and the date/time to
/dev/console.

Nothing left any tracks. The BB updates were sparse and sporadic, with
lots of purples. 

Now I'm looking to add the 'top' display to the cpu report -- but I
can't find ANYTHING for the AIX environment that doesn't need two or
three cycles to build a curses-mode display. Monitor and nmon at least
know how to run for a specific count and quit; IBM supplies topas as an
equivalent, and it needs to be directed to stop. 

Nmon in 'file' mode generates too much exteraneous material and I don't
really feel like parsing the csv format.

So -- is anyone out there using anything on AIX to simulate 'top -n1'?

TIA
