htop is a process viewer for Linux that allows users to interact with processes in real-time. It requires the ncurses library and has been tested with Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
As a Linux user, htop has become my go-to interactive process viewer that offers a plethora of features for customizing and monitoring processes. The software requires ncurses to function and has been tested with both Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
One of the standout features of htop is its ability to display processes as either a list or a tree view. This feature makes it easy to interpret the relationships between processes and their dependencies. Additionally, htop provides real-time updates on CPU utilization, memory usage, and other system stats.
One of the features I appreciate most is the ability to search for processes by name, making it easy to locate known processes or find those that are causing issues. The software also provides color-coded indicators for processes that are consuming excessive CPU or memory resources, allowing for easy identification and troubleshooting.
Overall, htop is a powerful and essential tool for any Linux user or system administrator. Its feature-rich interface and real-time monitoring make it a must-have for monitoring and optimizing system performance.
