Watsup is a system and process monitor for CPU, memory, page faults, disk IO, network IO.

Low overhead. GUI controls. Formatted report in window. Sample interval down to 0.1 secs. Choose font size. System resources: CPU (1-4), memory (free/used/cache), page faults (hard/soft), disk IO, network IO. Process resources: same + execution file name.

Here are some key features of "Watsup":

· overhead is about 1/3 as much · sample interval as low as 0.1 seconds is supported · overall system and top process resources are shown on one page · disk I/O, network I/O, and page fault rates can be monitored · font can be made small (for display in a corner) or large (whole screen) · the top N processes are displayed with minimal jumping around between samples · (which makes it easier to watch one or a few processes) · process ranking is a weighted sum of CPU, hard page faults, and disk I/O

Requirements:

· GTK+ >= 2.8.x · C++ compiler

What's new in Watsup 3.4:

Watsup was recently revised to use lm-sensors to get the CPU temperature. The time required can range from 0.001 to 0.5 seconds or more, depending on the computer. The desktop freezes during this time, possibly causing jerky mouse motion or other problems in the user interface. An alternative has now been implemented: specify a file path where the CPU temperature is updated by the kernel (this is a file mapped into main memory). Unfortunately there is no standard and the user must find this file and enter it into the Watsup settings dialog.
