Here is a list of scripts delivered with ProTop for Unix/Linux, a short description, and links to other documentation.
NOTE: Files that end with "(x)" are source scripts that can be overwritten during an update to ProTop. Copy the source script to the file name without the "x". That file is safe to customize as ProTop will not overwrite it.
