pidterm

Pidterm is a software utility that displays process information in a terminal environment. It presents a dynamic list of running processes, offering details such as their process ID (PID), user, CPU usage, memory consumption, and command name. The interface is designed to be interactive, allowing users to sort the process list by various criteria and to filter processes based on specific keywords or properties.

The primary purpose of pidterm is to provide a more visually appealing and user-friendly alternative to traditional command-line process monitoring tools like `ps` or `top`. It aims to offer a clear overview of system activity, making it easier for users to identify resource-intensive processes or potential issues. The application can be particularly useful for system administrators, developers, and anyone who needs to monitor and manage processes on a Linux or Unix-like system.

Pidterm typically runs as a standalone executable and is often installed through package managers or compiled from source code. Its configuration options might allow for customization of displayed columns, refresh rates, and color schemes. The interactive nature of pidterm allows for real-time observation of system performance, enabling prompt action when necessary.
