procice GUI: documentation

A fast and simple GUI for the Procps commands 'ps' and 'kill'.

What is procice GUI?

Written in Perl using the Gtk2-perl libraries as a fast and simple GUI for the Linux Procps commands 'ps' and 'kill'.

File/Refresh (Ctrl+P)

Refresh recalls the current 'ps' command and repopulates the process list.

File/Quit (Ctrl+Q)

Quit :-)

Edit/Warning (Ctrl+K)

When 'Warning' is on (ticked) a dialog will pop up every time you try to 'kill' a process. When 'Warning' is off 'kill' commands will execute immediately. The status of 'Warning' can be seen by the colour of the kill icon in the kill button (bottom-right of the main window), or in the menu, red indicating warning 'on', and green warning 'off'

Edit/Kill (Enter) (Dbl-Click)

Call to 'kill' on the selected process:

kill (SIGNAL) (SELECTED_PID).

(SIGNAL) can be -TERM, -HUP, -INT, -KILL, -STOP or -CONT, and its value can be set in the ComboBox at the bottom-right of the main window.

Processes/User (Ctrl+U)

Call 'ps' and retrieve all the current user's processes:

ps -U $USER -o user,pid,comm,vsz,rss,ni,s,%cpu,%mem,bsdstart,tname,cmd

Processes/All (Ctrl+A)

Call 'ps' and retrieve all the current processes on the system:

ps -eo user,pid,comm,vsz,rss,ni,s,%cpu,%mem,bsdstart,tname,cmd

Processes/Running (Ctrl+R)

Call 'ps' and retrieve all the currently running processes on the system:

ps -e r -o user,pid,comm,vsz,rss,ni,s,%cpu,%mem,bsdstart,tname,cmd

Help/Help (Ctrl+H)
