System

Introduction

A simplified gtop which shows processes and mounted filesystems as bar charts.

Features

• Displays Shared/Unshared/Swapped memory for each process.
• State indicator beside each process shows current state (running, sleeping, etc).
• Popup menu allows processes to be paused, resumed and killed.
• Displays Reserved/Used/Free space for each filesystem.

Installation

In order to use System, you will need:

• GTK+ 2.0.0 (or later) (http://www.gtk.org)
• The libgtop2 library. (note: newer versions of libgtop are not yet supported)

Having ROX-Filer will make things slightly easier, but you can use it without.

Download latest version

• Download either:
  • The source code system-1.9.0.tgz [ Mirrors, GPG sig ] , or
  • The Linux i386 binary system-linux-x86.1.9.0.tgz [ Mirrors ] .
• Extract the archive (eg, by dragging it to Archive) and click on System in a ROX-Filer window (if you don't have an application-directory-aware filer then go into the System directory and run AppRun manually).

If you got the source version, there will be a brief delay while it compiles.

CVS snapshots

Daily snapshots of the latest CVS version are available from the snapshots dir: http://rox.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
