A while ago I modified kp to include process priority setting and tidied the output a little but fancied doing a gtk version.
So what did I stumble accros but another zigbert special . So with the aid of this i've added in the mods from kp...I've attached both for anyone to try out

mike

excellent!!!
I will add this soon. This is good stuff, but my todo-list for Pprocess is not empty yet.

Thank you
Sigmund

Version 0.3 is uploaded. See main post.

Love the new layout.

Nice one with the search function too.

and that award winning 'kill' button says everything

mike

One of the things that always annoyed me about kp is that it truncates long process names (or whatever they are), so I can have several with the same name (as far as I can tell), so I need to use htop to kill the one I want. Pprocess seems to have the same problem.
Is this a limitation of the tools pprocess has to use?

good work (I am using it in Puppy Lassie)
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/TalkingStickLassie

but I assume it would work in any Puppy from 2.10 onward?
Fortunately I am a heretic Buddhist so I accept killing
as part of life

A very useful program for me as I am often running Betas, Alphas
and experimental Puppies that need to have their bugs
deloused . . .

On the whole I do not kill insects
unless I intend to eat them.

OK off for a quick sedative . . . before I start rambling about ahimsa

good question...ps truncates according to the console width but why this is occuring for pprocess is unclear to me...ps is sent to a temporary file in this case.


Zigbert...I wonder about removing init from the list or moving it (I tried reversing the order but found it confusing) as the default behaviour is that init is initially selected so if that chunky kill button is accidently pressed then everything shuts down

mike

mikeb
'init' will be removed

Lobster
To be less aggressive, should we rename 'KILL process' to 'Make process sleep to the end of eternity'

disciple
I haven't noticed this before. Ps inside Pprocess truncates input as default rxvt-size. Also tried it in Puppy 4 since I mean to remember that Barry has put in the full ps-command. Not only the one from busybox. Right now, I don't have any idea....

hi zigbert

Excellent process application, tried it last night and worked just fine
I noticed you had sliding scroll-bar, and when i seen that, the lightbulb went on again, Basically a few people have noticed that in "Pmount" if you have 12+ partitions or drives you can't view the bottom ones because of no sliding up/down scroll-bar. Any chance of maybe adding one? Man I would ike to learn this code, any good ebooks? When i look at the source code it reminds me a bit of html.
well keep up the excellent work.

Maybe I don't understand your question, but have you noticed this one: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=21200

Basically the topic you showed me looks excellent, But it seems to in in a early alpha stage, what the orginal poster wanted was just pmount with a right-hand up/down scrollbar to see all of his partitions. Nothing fancy, lol
I personally like the new ones your making very nice, one thing i like is eye candy.
and this was a picture of his problem.

Pdrive should do the same as the latest rewrite of Pmount (+ some more). Mostly, it is the same code.

Version 0.4 is uploaded. See main post.

hmm the word sophisticated comes to mind

I noticed you have scrapped the list height code as unecessary...I set the width to around 520 which eliminates the horizontal scrollbar as ps truncates everything neatly anyway.

I also removed pprocess from the list...just my warped way of thinking.

hmm a button to conveniently launch top?

mike

now where is that cpu/memory monitor going to fit.....

You have a lot of good ideas here. There must come a 0.5

Zigbert

'End Process' is fine. Have you ever had someone say,
'I don't want to kill. Kill what anyway?'

We take these terms for granted. I am used to the term 'packages'
but most people know packages as 'software'

These geek names and idiosyncrasies add up
Removing one or two where we can makes a difference
to new users and Window refugees . . .

Version 0.5
See main post

The labelling is confusing now:
You select the "kill signal" (which may or may not end a process) to control the signal sent by the "end process" button. Or did I misunderstand something?

Thank you, Disciple!

Let's say: End process with signal
