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.
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.
