This is htop, an interactive process viewer.
It requires ncurses. It is developed primarily on Linux,
but we also have code for running under FreeBSD and Mac OS X
(help and testing are wanted for these platforms!)
This software has evolved considerably over the years, and is reasonably complete, but there is always room for improvement.
htop and classic tophtop you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
to see all processes and full command lines.top you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
sequences are triggered by accident).htop starts faster (top seems to collect data for a while
before displaying anything).htop you don't need to type the process number to
kill a process, in top you do.htop you don't need to type the process number or
the priority value to renice a process, in top you do.htop you can kill multiple processes at once.top is older, hence, more tested.This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package. See the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.
When compiling from a release tarball, run:
./configure && make
For compiling sources downloaded from the Git repository, run:
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
By default make install will install into /usr/local, for changing
the path use ./configure --prefix=/some/path.
See the manual page (man htop) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h'
inside htop) for a list of supported key commands.
If not all keys work check your curses configuration.
