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
