jeffreywhunter Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 What is the equivalent to Windows Task Manager for unRaid/Linux? Something that shows what apps are running and who is consuming resources. My system is not doing anything (at least as far as I know), yet its busy accessing several of the drives. Probably just some internal cleanup, but I like to keep abreast of what's going on in my systems and when I see something that does not feel right, I like to understand... Thanks!

trurl Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 20 Command Line Tools to Monitor Linux Performance Haven't tried all these and not sure they are all available in unRAID, but I know some are built-in and some are in NerdPack. Quote Link to comment
abs0lut.zer0 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 htop is about the closest thing i think Quote Link to comment
jeffreywhunter Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Both PTOP and HTOP are nice tools. Just what I was looking for. Is there another tool that I can lookup the COMMAND to determine which app it belongs to? Some of the commands are clear, but some are not. For instance: The first process DD I think is the preclear script running (I just started that). But I'm guessing because its the most processor at the moment and I'm not doing anything else... Thanks! Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hmmm, I've used top for years. Never messed with htop. Looks rather nice Quote Link to comment

Thanks! the stuff under the Command heading is the process that is running. It's a bit like Task Manager (at least for me...) in that some of the names are really hard to dissect to know where the process is coming from. DD is called as part of the preclear script, so that's a safe bet. Quote Link to comment

I'm not familiar with ptop or htop, but your problem is that parent process ids (ppid) are not being shown - perhaps there is an option to add the ppid column.. If you run the 'old-fashioned' ps command with the -f (full) switch, then ppids are shown and you can see which process spawned the process in question. Quote Link to comment
