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

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

Top resource consumers

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

Process details

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

Find by name

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

Port bindings

Copyprocess-watch ports [--port 3000]
# What's listening on which port?

Network connections

Copyprocess-watch net [--pid <pid>] [--established]

Kill process

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

Watch mode

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

System summary

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

Examples

Copy# What's eating my CPU?
process-watch top --type cpu

# What's on port 3000?
process-watch ports --port 3000

# Details on a specific process
process-watch info 1234

# Kill all Chrome processes
process-watch kill --name chrome

# Watch with alerts
process-watch watch --alert-cpu 90 --alert-mem 85
