Hey Forum,

I've just published the first beta of jtop-pss, a terminal process monitor focused on accurate memory accounting. It's my first time putting anything on GitHub, so just interested in seeing if anyone else is interested in it. I use it all the time now. Is it useful to you?

Key features:

  • PSS/USS/RSS memory tracking (actual RAM usage, not just RSS)
  • Nanosecond-precise CPU usage at โ‰ค0.25s intervals
  • Tree view with box-drawing hierarchy
  • Thread and kernel thread visibility toggles
  • Multi-process kill mode with hold-to-mark
  • True-color TUI with live system overview

Install: cargo install jtop-pss
GitHub: GitHub - jcogitation/jtop: High-performance PSS/USS-aware system monitor top/htop replacement in Rust. Features true-color TUI, nanosecond-accurate CPU tracking, and bulk process management. ยท GitHub
Linux-only (uses /proc)

This is a beta/feedback request. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome. It doesn't have every feature of htop or similar, but I deliberately avoided trying to add i/o, network stuff... other tools already do that perfectly.

(Screenshots in the README show the true-color output and tree mode.)

(Sorry to any moderator, I had an issue with the previous post/account, no nefarious duplicate or anything like that is intended. I deleted the previous post.)
