About htop

htop shows processes as a scrollable, colour-coded list with per-core load meters, memory and swap bars, and lets you search, filter, sort, renice and kill processes without typing a PID. It reads as a friendlier replacement for top and runs over SSH as comfortably as locally.

Strengths

  • Kill, renice and filter processes interactively without typing PIDs
  • Per-core meters and tree view make load easy to read at a glance

Limitations

  • Terminal only, with no historical graphing
  • Some counters differ per platform outside Linux
