See more than 6 processes

[dave7373]

I would like to see more than just the 6 top processes when running etop.
So I tracked down where this can be set in the code.

I could get more data by changing one value.

I changed prfPprc.erl line 28 form

-record(cst,{items=6

to

-record(cst,{items=19

This works and now I can see 19 top erlang processes, not just 6.
But I would like to know if there are any valid important motivations
for limiting the list to 6? Have i missed something important ?

The prf stuff implements a distributed system, where there is a server on the target node, and any number of clients. That is, there can be more than one client using the data provided by prfPrc. Changing the 'items' parameter affects the server, and will change the data seem by all the clients.

The above is just an observation, and here's how you change 'items';
prf:config(dtop,consumer,{items,1}).
