Bpytop, bashtop python port is now available at
https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytopIt's a lot faster and about a third as cpu heavy and has more features, including:
- Mouse support
- Toggleable mini mode
- More customization
- Graphs for memory consumption
It's also a lot easier for me to bug fix and it's the project I'm actively working on, so please try to migrate to bpytop.
DescriptionResource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.
Features- Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.
- Fast and "mostly" responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection.
- Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
- Ability to filter processes.
- Easy switching between sorting options.
- Send SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT to selected process.
- UI menu for changing all config file options.
- Auto scaling graph for network usage.
- Shows message in menu if new version is available
- Shows current read and write speeds for disks
- Multiple data collection methods which can be switched if running on Linux
ThemesBashtop now has theme support and a function to download missing local themes from repository.
See
themes folder for available themes.
The builtin theme
downloader places the default themes in
$HOME/.config/bashtop/themes. User created themes should be placed in
$HOME/.config/bashtop/user_themes to be safe from overwrites.
Let me know if you want to contribute with new themes.
Support and fundingBug fixes and updates might be slow during normal workdays since I work full time as an industrial worker and don't have much time or energy left during the week. I'm looking into ways of funding this project that would allow me to take off time from my day job to work on this.
Any advice on how to get funding for open source projects is very welcome!
UpdateYou can now sponsor this project through github, see
my sponsors page for options.
Also added donation links for
paypal and
ko-fi.
Any support is greatly appreciated!
PrerequisitesMac Os XWill not display correctly in the standard terminal! Recommended alternative
iTerm2Will also need to be run as superuser to display stats for processes not owned by user.
Linux, Mac Os X and FreeBSDFor correct display, a terminal with support for:
Also needs a UTF8 locale and a font that covers:
- Unicode Block "Braille Patterns" U+2800 - U+28FF
- Unicode Block "Geometric Shapes" U+25A0 - U+25FF
- Unicode Block "Box Drawing" and "Block Elements" U+2500 - U+259F
NoticeDropbear seems to not be able to set correct locale. So if accessing bashtop over ssh, OpenSSH is recommended.
DependenciesLinux, OSX and FreeBSDbash (v4.4 or later) Script functionality will most probably break with earlier versions. Bash version 5 is highly recommended to make use of $EPOCHREALTIME variable instead of a lot of external date command calls.
GNU coreutilsGNU sedLinux using /proc for data collectionGNU grepps from procps-ng (v3.1.15 or later)
GNU awkOSX and FreeBSD or Linux using psutil for data collectionPython3 (v3.6 or later)
psutil python module (v5.7.0 or later)
Optionals for additional stats(Optional OSX)
osx-cpu-temp Needed to show CPU temperatures.
(Optional Linux)
lm-sensors Needed to show CPU temperatures.
(Optional Linux)
iostat (part of sysstat) Needed if you want disk read/write stats and are not using psutil data collection.
(Optional OSX/Linux/FreeBSD)
curl (v7.16.2 or later) Needed if you want messages about updates and the ability to download themes.
