About witr
witr (Why is this running?) is a command-line interface (CLI) and Text-based User Interface (TUI) tool designed to answer the fundamental question of why something is running on a system. Unlike traditional tools like `ps`, `top`, or `lsof` that only show the current state and metadata, witr explicitly reveals the causality chain. It traces processes, services, ports, containers, or files back to their exact origin, detailing how they were started and which systems are responsible for their current existence. This tool is invaluable for developers, system administrators, and anyone troubleshooting system behavior. It provides a single, human-readable output or an interactive TUI dashboard that makes complex system interactions transparent. witr helps users quickly understand the often indirect and multi-layered causes behind running components, whether they originate from supervisors, containers, services, or shells, thereby streamlining debugging and system analysis.
