rasort -N

[CS Lee]

Carter,

Apparently -N option is not shown in ra(1) man page either, while it can be
used and of course I prefer if -N is available instead of using head().
However I have read that all the argus clients support ra options, but it is
not working for rasort(racluster works pretty well with -N), I try to use -N
with rasort and it doesn't work so I think piping to ra is what I can do for
the moment. Thanks for the clue :)
