TIME+ – The period of time since the process initiated.MEM% – The percentage of Memory consumed by the process.CPU% – The percentage of CPU used by the process.S (Status) – The current state of the process, S – Sleeping, R – Running, etc.SHR (Shared Memory) – The amount of shared memory the task is occupying.

RES (Resident Memory) – The proportion of RAM the process is using.VIRT (Virtual Memory) – The amount of virtual memory the process is consuming.NI (Nice Value) – The process priority as viewed by the USER.PRI (Priority) – The kernel’s priority for the process.PID (Process ID) – Unique number designated to the process.Now run the htop monitoring tool by executing following command on the terminal.Each process title comprises of the following default information: # rpm -ihv rpmforge-release*.rf.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -ihv rpmforge-release*.rf.i686.rpm For RHEL, CentOS & Fedora 64-bit OS # For RHEL 5, CentOS 5 & Fedora # For RHEL, CentOS & Fedora 32-bit OS # For RHEL 5, CentOS 5 & Fedora # To do just install the following RPM for your architecture ( 32bit or 64bit). Let us install Htop on RHEL 6.3/6.2/6.1/6/5.8, CentOS 6.3/6.2/6.1/6/5.8 and Fedora 17,16,15,14,13,12 Linux via the yum package manager, the rpmforge package repository must be installed on your system to retrieve and install. You can scroll vertically to view the full process list, and scroll horizontally to view the full command line of the process. We can interact with mouse those who love to play with mouse. It shows complete list of processes running and easy to use for normal tasks. Htop is an interactive and real time process monitoring application for Linux.
