NAME
bb — your system's Big Brother
SYNOPSIS
bb
DESCRIPTION
simple process viewer (for functionalities, see shortcuts below)
WHY
This is a "weekend" side-project made for fun, but it ended up somewhat useful and fast. Performance seems on par with htop
without having done any benchmarks, however in contrast to htop
, bb
doesn't leave artifacts when it redraws the screen. I am not completely sure this is htop
's fault though, feel free to correct me.
