watsup

Monitor system resources and the processes using those resources.

• Overhead is low, supporting a sample interval down to 0.1 seconds
• Overall system and top process resources are shown on one page
• CPU, memory, disk I/O, network I/O, and page faults are monitored
• Usage for N CPUs shown on a scale from zero to N x 100%
• The highest ranked processes fitting in the window are shown, with minimal jumping around between samples (easy to watch one or a few processes)
• Process rank is a weighted sum of CPU, hard page faults, and disk I/O over the last few samples (the weight of each sample declines over time)
• Filter processes by user, PID, executable
• Font can be made large or small (for display in monitor corner)
• Click on a process to kill the process (after confirmation)
