htop

htop is a powerful and interactive text-mode application designed for monitoring system processes. It provides a dynamic and visually enhanced alternative to traditional process management tools like 'top', allowing users to view and manage running processes, CPU usage, memory consumption, and other system statistics in real-time. Its interactive nature enables users to scroll, filter, and kill processes directly from the interface, making system administration tasks more efficient. This tool is ideal for system administrators, developers, and anyone who needs a quick and detailed overview of their system's performance and running applications. Its cross-platform compatibility ensures that users across various Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and BSD variants, can leverage its capabilities. The key benefit of htop lies in its user-friendly interface and enhanced functionality compared to older tools, offering better visibility and control over system resources.
