GNU Emacs has a built-in process manager
After a mistyping accident that made me run proced
on GNU Emacs'
M-x
command, I discovered that it has a built-in process manager for
UNIX-like systems! Reading its manual, I ended up making the following
customization:
- proced-auto-update-flag
- updates the buffer automatically, no need
to press
g
- proced-auto-update-interval
- defines the auto update interval, the default being 5 secods
- proced-enable-color-flag
- adds some colors to the buffer, to me, making it easier to read
- proced-show-remote-processes
- if you are connected to a remote machine, you can also see the processes of it
All of this configured using use-package
looks like this:
(use-package proced
:custom
(proced-auto-update-flag t)
(proced-auto-update-interval 3)
(proced-enable-color-flag t)
(proced-show-remote-processes t))
