26 01 2008

If you irritated with top’s inability to scroll and are looking to opt to an alernative- look no further than htop!

What’s so unique and special about it?

  1. Visual Load monitors are nice and help
  2. Color schemed
  3. The interface is can be modified: colors, view modes, columns and pretty much everything else not noted.
  4. Very customizable-I can view processes in tree mode and view dependencies like in Gnome-System-Monitor
  5. You can scroll!!!!!!! and works with your mouse
  6. Nice Search feature
  7. What else do you need? Pretty and functional in CLI.

Note Ubuntu users and others alike. If you use the apt package manager and have the right sources and you simply type in your broswer of choice(well I shouldn’t say that, Firefox in my circumstance)

apt:htop

Have fun htop.
