X system monitoring program
 

I was looking for an x system monitor but came up with nothing :(

does anyone knows where I could find a non-kde/gnome X system monitor ?

also instead of starting an another topic, and in case there is no such thing, what console system monitor would you recommend ?

What do you mean by x system monitor?
Something like xosview?

more like the gtop the gnome system monitor, a graphical "top".

see FVWM

not a window manager dude, a program manager, system monitor, what's on www.fvwm.org that you wanted me to see ?

take a look to gkrellm or torsmo

I already have and am using torsmo, but this is NOT what I need...............
do you know what top is ?
if you do, then try to think of something like top but graphical that runs on X...

I know what top is, but what's the problem of being not-graphical?? You can open a terminal, run top on it and leave it running all the time.
I don't know of any software like torsmo or gkrellm that do what top does. Even more, I can't imagine top being graphical....how it should be?? a bunch of bars with CPU and RAM usage for each process?? It would be a mess to read.
The closest thing I can think of a frontend to top is gnome-system-monitor. Take a look and hope it will cope your needs.

yeah that's what I had in miind, thanks

but gnome-system-monitor requires gnome and associated libraries :(
any others you may know of ?

No, gnome-system-monitor does not need ALL Gnome to run, I have it and I'm on Fluxbox 0.9.11 :D
Take a look to dependencies, there are of course Gnome libraries, but you don't need all things from it. If you're using Fedora Core or Debian, you can install gnome-system-monitor with apt-get, so you'll see the dependencies you need. If you're not running those distros, you should look somewhere else for dependencies, but I'm pretty sure a short google search will show them.

Apart from gnome-system-monitor, i don't know any other frontend to top. There was gtop, but seems to be obsolete by now.

Try coding a karamba theme to do above or hack an existing theme.

A karamba for pure X?
duh :)
