Windows Task Manager for Linux

Wouldn't mind one, think of it as a more normie htop.

Windows task manager is pretty comfy. 10/10 would use.

It's something I would expect to find in Unity, but ultimately redundant.

>>55829576
in loonix there's not as much difference between task and process as it is in windblows

So basically a graphical frontend to top?

What would that offer except looking better than top or htop?

Wouldn't mind one but don't really see the point.

It has nothing to do with htop

do it

>>55829692
htop is useful when you need to monitor servers that are hundreds of miles away

>>55829692

htop is THE standard.

>>55829663
Mah nigga.

Great taste.
Clearlooks + Tango master race.

>>55829721
Those graphs in the menu bar always made me giggle.

>>55829593
+1

Chugs up the CPU sometimes but 90% of the time it does everything I need. I wish they'd make the End Process more aggressive though, I had to resort to using some random ass Unlocker program to MEGAKILL tasks that had stuck handles or whatever.

Resource Monitor is pretty neat, too.

>>55829576
someone clone the windows 8 task manager pls, the tab with network and disk usage
only thing I like in modern windows

REEEEEEEEE

>>55829692
the fact that htop lets you search the process list and task manager doesn't is enough reason to use htop.

gnome-system-monitor has comfy graphs.

>>55830412
>graphs are so haxxx0r

>>55829576
Nay

htop is better anyway

>>55830876
why can't you add that feature to a win style process manager.

>>55829692
>unconventional
htop is *the* industry standard. Hipsters would use something like plain top or glances

>>55833418
The network management industry. In all other areas, even IT professionals only use Windows

>>55829576
Yay.

>>55829576
yay if its better than gnome system monitor

>>55833433
In case it wasn't obvious enough by the “for Linux” in the title, this thread was about linux - not windows.

htop is the industry standard among linux administrators. What corporate farts use on their windows XP boxes doesn't matter

Sad...

The newer gnome system monitor is already pretty damn good. No real need for a replacement imo.

Back to /v/ with you

>>55833418
I've always saw my colleagues (I'm a sysadmin) using top instead of htop but consider centos/rhel doesn't have htop in the main repo, you need to enable EPEL

>>55829676
Looks like eye cancer. No wonder Linux is so dead in the desktop market. Completely impractical and not user-friendly in the slightest.

get outta here noob

>>55829676

It's shit. If I want to know how memory usage has been during the last 60 seconds there's no way to know at a glance from just that. If you don't accept that a GUI is superior you should neck yourself hipster faggot.

sure
release the code???

>>55830574
taskkill /f /im processna*
from the command prompt often works better

>>55836734
>If I want to know how memory usage has been during the last 60 seconds
That's only relevant for /v/-tier ricing. Either you only care about what the system is doing NOW, or your servers log everything to a central analytics machine anyway.

>>55836693
Personally the only time I use top over htop is in one of these two situations:

1. ‘top’ somehow isn't installed (not usually the case since our stock ansible scripts install all of the management tools that we expect to be available)

2. I want to find out at a glance what's causing system load: Solely for the reason that top also displays I/O statistics (% of time spent waiting on I/O) and htop does not.

>>55829576
I already have Gnome System Monitor.

I used to think that things like top on Linux are kind of annoying to use and that I'd like to have something like Task Manager on Windows, but now I don't know what I'd do without something like htop. It's actually perfect.

It's not hard to use at all. You can select processes with the mouse and scrollwheel or keyboard quite easily, and kill any process with whatever signal you want, whether that be SIGTERM or SIGKILL or SIGUSR1 or whatever. Also it has a tree view, which is very nice and intuitive. Task Manager feels like it's lacking this after you get used to the tree view, though I think there is a graphical task manager alternative for Windows which works similarly.

htop does seem a bit awkward on its default settings, but if you press F2, you can quite easily change the settings and "Hide userland process threads" and a few other things to make it cleaner.

>>55836734
It also does actually let you display graphs of anything. Pic related shows a graph of memory usage. It's got a nice menu for configuring what stats it displays and how it shows them at the top.

>>55837447
htop is missing disk and network usage though
there is io_wbytes and io_rbytes but it's not the same..

but what is this ramX?

yup, I had forgotten how many tmpfs I've mounted
looking into glances configuration, seems a fine tool
is there a gui frontend? from the dependencies looks like a python program

>>55829576
Linux has a lot of other things to worry about. Like making apps that actually work without a DOS prompt.
