The htop
command in Linux is a interactive process viewer that is similar to the top
command, but it provides a more user-friendly and colorful interface. It is used to display the currently running processes and their status, including the system resource usage such as CPU, memory, and disk usage.
Here are a few examples of how to use the htop
command:
- To start htop and view the running processes and their usage, you can simply run the following command:
htop
- To sort the processes by a specific column, you can press the key corresponding to the column you want to sort by. For example, to sort by the CPU usage, press ‘P’
- You can also use arrow key to scroll the list, ‘u’ to filter by user, ‘t’ to filter by tree and ‘k’ to kill a process.
- To search for a specific process, press ‘/’ and enter the name of the process.
- To display the processes of all users, press ‘Shift + u’.
- To display the processes by tree view, press ‘Shift + t’.
- To display the process with more detailed, press ‘F2’ and select the fields you want to see
- To change the layout of htop, press ‘F1’ to access the help menu, then select the layout and setup options you want.
- To quit htop, press ‘q’
It is important to note that htop needs to be installed on the system in order to use it, by default is not present on all distributions but could be installed via package manager. Htop has many more options and feature that could help you to troubleshoot and monitor your system performance.
