System monitor for the new Windows Terminal

wttop

You love the new Windows Terminal? So do I!

You love gtop or htop? So do I!

That is why I decided to make an equivalent in dotnetcore using Miguel De Icaza work for Terminal UI.

Wttop is a simple system monitor for the terminal:

Version 1.1

This version, although it is built on the cross-platform dotnetcore 3.1, does only support Windows. The reason is that it uses WMI - P/invoke to gather metrics.

However, it is made to be cross-platform. I just need to implement the ISystemInfo interface for both OSX and Linux.

The widgets available are:

• Machine name / version / uptime / System time
• CPU activity (virtual CPUs)
• RAM/SWAP usage
• Network activity
• Disk activity (aggregation of all disks)
• Disk usage (list all the available disks)
• List of top 15 processes

Installation

Manual

With dotnetcore 3.1, only one self-contained .exe file is used. You do not even need to have dotnetcore 3.1 installed on your machine.

Simply download the latest version, store it somewhere in your $path, and run the command from a terminal

/> wttop.exe

Via scoop

If yo do not know Scoop, go and check it out. I find it easier than Chocolatey.

Once Scoop is installed on your machine, simply run the following command:

/> scoop install wttop

Then, you can run

/> wttop.exe

Usage

As of version 1.1, I replaced some WMI calls by p/invoke, much quicker. I have also introduced a couple of commands:

• Press C to order processes by CPU usage (default)
• Press M to order processes by Memory usage
• Press Q to quit

Todo

[x] Add system time widget

[ ] Make it compatible with OSX

[ ] Make it compatible with Linux

[ ] Allow command to kill a process

[ ] Investigate the ability to adjust layout, via config file for instance

wttop's Issues

Process List is Empty

Hi there. Version 1.1 used. The Processes List is empty, even if you launch as administrator.

some suggesions

1. support system time(for full-screen purpose)
2. allow to adjust the layout

Terminal is messed up if you resize while running wttop

• Launch terminal with default window size
• Launch wttop
• Resize window vertically
• Quit
• Terminal is messed up and won't redraw correctly for the expanded part

This could be in the underlying text UI library, not your code.
