Process Watch

Comprehensive system process monitoring. Goes beyond basic top to show:

• CPU & memory usage
• Disk I/O per process
• Network connections
• Open files & handles
• Port bindings
• Process trees

Commands

List processes

process-watch list [--sort cpu|mem|disk|name] [--limit 20]

Top resource consumers

process-watch top [--type cpu|mem|disk|net] [--limit 10]

Process details

process-watch info <pid>
# Shows: CPU, memory, open files, network connections, children, environment

Find by name

process-watch find <name>
# e.g., process-watch find chrome

Port bindings

Kill process

process-watch kill <pid> [--force]
process-watch kill --name "chrome" [--force]

Watch mode

process-watch watch [--interval 2] [--alert-cpu 80] [--alert-mem 90]
# Continuous monitoring with threshold alerts

System summary

process-watch summary
# Quick overview: load, memory, disk, top processes

Examples

# What's eating my CPU?
