htop

That's why I wrote the original Task Manager.

It's why I was fascinated with Top and Htop and PS on Unix, and I don't know what it is about it, but it's like taking apart a washing machine and, or taking the lid off and defeating the interlocks and running the spins of sessions so you can see how it works.

So the, the tool part of it when something's failing or causing some issue is an, is, is that the, was that the primary purpose of it, or is that secondary to that? I just wanna know everything that's happening.

To me it was secondary.

What about the eye candy?

NVTop is the HTOP-shaped one, and I'll come back to it because it punches far above its weight.

NVTop is the Nvidia process viewer, BTOP and HTOP for the CPU side, IOStat for disk.

That's the interactive tier.

That's the interactive tier.

It's going to take a while to process.

As a matter of fact, the first time I put it together and I let it go in that structure, it took four hours to process from retrieving the file from the federal government, expanding it up, ripping through all those files and putting them in the database and doing some reports at the end took four hours compare that to now which it takes between six and nine minutes to do the same work and part of that is knowing what your computer is actually doing i recommend if you've got a linux box There's an application that you can install called HTOP.

I do a lot of my stuff over SSH.

So you don't really need to have a keyboard and things.

Again, when you start the thing up, you're going to need a keyboard monitor.

So if you've got a keyboard monitor kicking around and you can just hook it up to the desktop while you get it started, after that, you can do SSH into it.

But once I've got the SSH set up, I have one window when running HTOP.

And that lets me see how many cores are being used.
