Comment on Htop - better top

Comments

I always have a screen session open with htop in one terminal. I take it for granted so much the lack of htop bothers me if I need to do any form of process management.

htop and atop are my top two top tools

atop uses color to show when a subsystem goes over warn/critical threshold. it can be run in present time, or can be used to go back in time and "play back the tape"

I generally have one terminal open with htop as well. It's awesome for finding out which of your processes are battering your system
