How to display "real time" view of process running in openSUSE 10.1

ramirez.alex · 02-23-2007, 02:50 PM

I'm interested in knowing how I can have a view of all process actively running in openSUSE 10.1 a graphical view will be much better. It should include the CPU usage.

open a terminal.enter the command "top" w/o the quotes.
for a flashy desktop,install superkaramba and use a monitor theme that includes a running process list...normally just the top 3-5 processes are needed.

I tried various SuperKaramba widgets, but how good they are depends on how much memory you have and how powerful your graphics card is.

I use Krell meters. Install GKrellM. I have them in Gnome & KDE and you get a lot of extra stuff - weather reports, a volume control, drive activity. The process/cpu monitors are very configurable. If you are running Gnome, there is a taskbar applet for System Monitor, and you can run the full thing of the System menu.

I don't remember exactly how it was on OpenSuSE 10.1, but in my KDE on OpenSuSE 10.2 I have KDE System Guard (KSysGuard). I launch it from the Main Menu -> Applications -> System -> Monitor -> Performance Monitor.

On Suse 10.1 with KDE 3.5.4 KSysGuard (Performance Monitor) is in the same place

Applications > System > Monitoring > KSysGuard
