On FreeBSD top(1) utility, although having much less command line switches and options is in fact much more powerful than one that comes with your favorite Linux distribution.

Maybe one day I decide to publish an in depth write up about it but until that day comes here’s one hint. To show only processes that are running within specific jail launch top:

top

press:

J

enter your jail name:

examlejail

Voila, you have only processes within that specific jail listed. To show up processes from all jails, instead of typing in name of the jail simply type in + sign.

Now that I better think about it, to learn more about top:

man 1 top

FreeBSD man pages are also far better than Linux ones ;-)
