4.151. procps
An enhanced procps package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Enhancement
- BZ#547749
- Prior to this update the option to sort processes based on memory consumption using the top utility was only available in interactive mode (using Shift-M). Consequently you could not sort based on memory usage in batch mode. With this update an option, "-m", has been added to the "top" command that will automatically sort by memory usage.
Users of procps are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
