Usage: Linux resource monitor
Language: Bash

Description

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. test

Features

• Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.
• Fast and responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection.
• Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
• Ability to filter processes.
• Easy switching between sorting options.
• Send SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT to selected process.
• UI menu for changing all config file options.

Themes

Bashtop now has theme support and a function to download missing local themes from repository.

See themes folder for available themes.

Let me know if you want to contribute with new themes.

Upcoming (osx and bsd support)

Currently rewriting to use python3 psutil for data collection instead of linux specific tools. This will add python 3 and psutil as dependencies, but will make bashtop cross platform compatible.

This will be in a new branch called bashtop-psutil when I'm done with inital testing

Compability

Should work on most modern linux distributions with a truecolor capable terminal.

Dependencies

bash (v4.4 or later) Script functionality will most probably break with earlier versions.
Bash version 5 is higly recommended to make use of $EPOCHREALTIME variable instead of alot of external date command calls.

GNU Core Utilities

GNU Grep

ps from procps-ng (v3.1.15 or later)

sed

awk

(Optional) lm-sensors Needed to show CPU temperatures

(Optional) curl (v7.16.2 or later) Needed if you want messages about updates and the ability to download themes.
