[Gllug] Anyone know the syntax for specifying a list of pids to watch in iotop?

The man page says...

"-p PID, --pid=PID A list of processes to monitor (all by default)."

But I can't seem to get it to recognize more than one pid...

iotop --pid=6719 8942
>iotop: error: Unexpected arguments: 8942

iotop -p 6719 8942
>iotop: error: Unexpected arguments: 8942

r0g at steppa:~$ iotop -p 6719, 8942
>iotop: error: option -p: invalid integer value: '6719,'

iotop -p 6719 -p 8942
Monitors the first but ignores the second pid altogether


Any idea what format it expects this pid list in?

Roger.
