When the environment variable CPULOOP=1 is set properly (with export), the CPULOOP=1 variable setting does have the intended effect of hiding the first top display on my CentOS 6.5 system.
So top doesn't match the behavior described in man page, or the version you have doesn't support the feature?
Are you trying this from the command line or from the Xymon client config?
Does this work:
CPULOOP=1 top -b -n 1
On the only system available to me right now (old-ish Debian) top doesn't seem to support this. Instead:
$ top -b -n2 | sed '1,/^top/d'
You could try adding this into your xymonclient-linux.sh script on your client host.
Note that this will make each run take 5 seconds longer. Probably not a problem though.
