About:
Procs is a modern, feature-rich process viewer written in Rust that provides a more intuitive alternative to the traditional ps command. It displays process information in a structured, color-coded format with detailed insights into resource usage and process hierarchies. The tool offers enhanced readability and powerful filtering capabilities, making system monitoring more efficient.
Key Features:
  • Color-coded output for better readability
  • Detailed process information including CPU, memory, and I/O stats
  • Tree view for visualizing process hierarchies
  • Powerful filtering and search capabilities
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Use Cases:
  • System monitoring and debugging on servers and development machines
  • Identifying resource-intensive processes quickly
  • Analyzing process relationships and parent-child hierarchies
Alternatives:
  • ps – Traditional Unix tool; Procs offers better formatting and more detailed information by default
  • htop – Interactive process viewer; Procs is non-interactive but provides more detailed process data in a single view
  • glances – Comprehensive system monitor; Procs focuses specifically on process information with a cleaner output
