Continuously View Important Alarms

Sometimes it is convenient to dedicate a terminal or terminal window to show a list of the most important alarms in the system. This is done with the command alarm_top.

The command alarm_top list alarms in order of importance on the screen, with the most important alarm first. The screen is updated as alarm are raised, cleared, or erased. The command consumes CPU-power, so remember to shut it down (by pressing the Q-key or the keys control-C) when it is no longer needed.
