Hi All,
I just saw htop on linux and totally love it, just like topas on a/ix. Is
there anything like that on opensolaris ?

I know you can get everything you want, an answer for what ever question you
could possibly want to know about, but there is nothing that gives you this
kind of info all in one place, live.

So i was thinking, everything that top/prstat and all those xxstat programs,
dtrace does all that for you, right ? dtrace can give you answers to
questions you did not even think of asking, right ?
So, is there anything like top with dtrace for example ? Something like
even much more cool ?



Best regards,


Trausti

I was working on putting dtrace probes into Python last night. On my Mac
there is a GUI tool called Instruments which I found pretty damn impressive:
