Good point,

which btw. works for top and atop, too, as q instead of Ctrl+C does
either. I don't know why I mentioned Ctrl+C in a previous mail :D.

However, I would use top or atop instead of htop, both IMO are better
readable, regarding default colours and provided buffer/cache info, but
only top might allow to easily copy the output.
