Htop

Htop is a terminal-based system monitor. It is similar to top, but allows you to scroll vertically and horizontally, so you can see all the processes running on the system, along with their full command lines.

Installation:

WGET

wget -N --no-cache --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carry0987/Linux-Script/master/book_source/Htop/htop-setup.sh && chmod +x htop-setup.sh && bash htop-setup.sh

CURL

curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carry0987/Linux-Script/master/book_source/Htop/htop-setup.sh && chmod +x htop-setup.sh && bash htop-setup.sh

htoprc

htop can be configured by editing ~/.config/htop/htoprc. The following is my htoprc file:

# Beware! This file is rewritten by htop when settings are changed in the interface.
# The parser is also very primitive, and not human-friendly.
