The Process Inspector is a powerful command-line tool designed for Linux systems to provide comprehensive insights into running processes, enabling users to monitor, analyze, and manage processes effectively. This tool offers various features for process management, resource monitoring, security enhancement, historical reporting, and more.
- Process Identification: Quickly identify running processes by name.
- Process Enumeration: List all process IDs associated with a specific process name.
- Resource Usage Statistics: Display resource usage statistics for each process, including CPU time, memory consumption, and more.
- Process Termination: Allow users to terminate processes based on their process IDs.
- Security Enhancement: Implement security features to detect and prevent malicious attacks targeting system processes.
- Historical Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports and perform historical analysis of process activities based on various criteria such as execution time, resource consumption, and system performance.
- System Monitoring: Administrators can use the Process Inspector to monitor system processes in real-time and identify any anomalies or resource-intensive tasks.
- Troubleshooting: Developers and system administrators can utilize the tool to troubleshoot performance issues, memory leaks, or application crashes by analyzing process behavior and resource usage.
- Security Auditing: Security professionals can leverage the security features of the Process Inspector to detect and mitigate potential threats or unauthorized activities targeting system processes.
- Resource Management: Users can manage system resources more efficiently by identifying and terminating unnecessary or problematic processes consuming excessive CPU, memory, or disk space.
Installation: Clone the repository and compile the source code using a C++ compiler or run the compiled version in releases.
