    Hi Steve,
    First, I think there is not such utility as "top" in OmniOS. I remember
    discussion about amount of resources "top" is using, with recommendation to
    avoid it, at least in production, when resources can be already scarce. Use
    instead "prstat": installed by default, aware of zones and
    lightweight-processes, and much more efficient!
    About searching files and packages, see "man pkg". For example, to find
    which package owns prstat utility, "pkg search prstat". Or, for example,
    "pkg search -r :file:basename:prstat", for looking in remote repositories
    for packages with "prstat" as the basename of the file to be installed.
