Very simple monitoring utility, that monitors any processes you'd like. It measures a few of the main resources and characteristics, like memory, cpu usage, number of threads.

It's curses based, and uses the psutil module as a backend.

The repository includes a buildout.cfg file, so that the application can be built as a standalone script, and run from the console.

Install by:

git clone git@github.com:stargazer/monitproc.git
cd monitproc
python bootstrap.py -d
bin/buildout

Now you can use the tool by running:

bin/monitproc <proc1> <proc2> <...>

1. Rewrite the whole metrics.py and presentation.py modules
2. Document the measurements that I take
3. Are there more useful measurements to take?
4. Make it more flexible, in the sense that different kinds of processes can be measured... based on name, pid, etc
5. On top of the screen, print system information... CPU freq, total memory, swap space, etc
