[QCLUG] Linux Tool of the Week - htop

[Chris Cooper]

htop - an interactive process viewer for Linux
http://htop.sourceforge.net/

htop is an ncurses variant on the much loved "top".  It provides a
clean way to monitor system resources from the console, and keep an
eye on what is going on.  Thanks to ncurses, htop displays most of its
information in colorful, easy to read bar graphs.  This provides great
"info at a glance" utility.

It also features mouse support, threaded views, and multiple sorting methods.

If you find yourself using top regularly, give htop a try.
