process-status

Emacs buffer mode for displaying information from /proc.

M-x mc-proc RET shows a graph of processes with parent/child relationships. For example:

      1   systemd
    236    |_ systemd-journal
    248    |_ systemd-udevd
    669    |_ repowerd
    670    |_ avahi-daemon
    704    |   \_ avahi-daemon
   1163    |_ lightdm
   1215    |   |_ Xorg
   1326    |   \_ lightdm
   1353    |       \_ run-systemd-ses
   1461    |           |_ unclutter
   1494    |           |_ ssh-agent
   1645    |           \_ systemctl
...

Press RET on any line to see details about that process. For example:

pid      1645
ppid     1353
argv     systemctl --user start --wait ubuntu-session.target
comm     systemctl
cwd      /home/michael

To send a signal to processes, mark the processes with k (KILL), t (TERM), h (HUP) or \ (QUIT), then press x to send the signal(s).

n and p move to next and previous lines and display the process details.
