Htop
Htop is an interactive real-time process monitoring application for Linux/Unix-like systems and also a handy alternative to [top command(https://www.tecmint.com/12-top-command-examples-in-linux/)], which is a default process monitoring tool that comes pre-installed on all Linux operating systems.
Htop has numerous other user-friendly features, which are not available under the top command and they are:
- In htop, you can scroll vertically to view the full process list and scroll horizontally to view the full command lines.
- It starts very quickly as compared to the top because it doesn’t wait to fetch data during startup.
- In htop, you can kill more than one process at once without inserting their PIDs.
- In htop, you no longer needed to enter the process number or priority value to re-nice a process.
- Press “e” to print the set of environment variables for a process.
- Use the mouse to select list items.
