Announcing Treeps 1.2.1 For Linux
---------------------------------
Treeps is a X/Motif program for Unix/Linux that is designed to make
monitoring and interacting with the running programs on your system easy
and intuitive. A "real time" tree view shows the relationships between the
processes and is color coded to provide easy interpretation of various
values. The process tree displays any combination of users/groups and
can be used to drill down into process details and then extract key
fields for continuos monitoring. A number of predefined actions can be
performed on processes, such as signaling(killing) or viewing the man
page. Various control mechanisms can be used to fine tune the display
and adjust sampling rates etc. There are also a large number of other
features, please visit the web site for more details.
