‘htop’ is much better than ‘top’ in my opinion. I like the ability to kill a process without typing in the process number, and it supports mouse operation

this is terrific, the standard system monitor in ubu takes up a s^%t load of cpu so this should help a lot- realily easily-ly : )

Thank you, thank you! For me, the reason to try htop (and now, to use it) was that it lets you SCROLL. I always find it frustrating to have 20 identical things at the top of the list sorted by memory, when it’s really 20 threads sharing that large amount of memory (firefox…).

I’ll be installing ‘htop’ when I get home.

Incidentally, I was impressed that you said ‘really easily’.

I get nostalgic about the correct (ie, old-fashioned) use of English.

Let me guess – you’re not ‘uhmerkin’.

FrankX,

Thanks for noticing that! That’s gotta be the 10th time I’ve forgotten the word install when typing apt-get. =)

I am sure you missed the word “Install” out of the Ubuntu command to install Htop.

Think it should be…

sudo apt-get install htop

;o) All the best!

I’m pretty sure it will compile fine on FreeBSD….

It’s the default one that comes with Kubuntu, actually… it’s called Crystal
