    Yes, I agree with the test system test first. Remember, under the covers:
    "topas" access the: "/dev/kmem" file. Could be dangerous if kernel doesn't
    support
    topas... Thanks.

    Re: Top equivalent of aix

    That's a great question. The website indicates that it works with AIX 4.1,
    4.2 ,4.3, 4.3.3, 5.1 and 5.2 plus Linux SuSE and Redhat on Intel and
    pSeries platforms.

    I would try it first on AIX 5.3 in a lab type of environment.

    Here is the webpage:

    Does it work with 5.3 yet?
