"top" command during jtreg failure handler does not display CPU usage on OSX

        In test/failure_handler/src/share/conf/mac.properties we have:

        process.top.app=top
        process.top.args=-l 1

        So top is run with the "-l 1" args, causing it to do one iteration and then exit. Unfortunately the first iteration always shows all 0's for CPU usage. If you do at least 2 iterations, you do see the proper CPU usage on the 2nd iteration. The user just needs to know to scroll down to see it. I suggest we start using "-l 2" unless someone has a better idea.

        BTW, for proper CPU usage you can instead look at the failure handler "ps" output, which seems to be correct. But it is nice to have "top" produce the correct output so all the CPU hogs are at the top of the list.
