Advanced process tree, thread stack, open handle, and memory map inspector
Process Explorer for Linux brings the power of Sysinternals Process Explorer and Process Hacker to Linux desktops and servers. Visualize the live parent-child process tree alongside real-time CPU, Memory, and Disk I/O sparkline graphs, inspect kernel-level threads (LWPs), and audit open file descriptors and shared library memory mappings.
KEY FEATURES: • Hierarchical Process Tree & Live Graphs: Inspect PID, PPID, User, CPU %, Memory RSS, I/O Read/Write, thread count, Nice priority, and command lines with real-time sparkline telemetry. • Deep Thread (LWP) & Stack Inspector: Analyze per-process threads (/proc/<pid>/task), scheduler states, voluntary/involuntary context switches, CPU affinity masks, and kernel wait channels (wchan). • Open Handles, File Descriptors & Memory Maps: Audit open sockets, files (/proc/<pid>/fd), and shared library mappings (/proc/<pid>/maps) with instant search and CSV export.
