http://drunken-security.at/is-it-a-good-idea-to-show-everybo... has a live htop background :-)

We are pleased that you "stole" our idea :)

Is it ok to steal back the gif? Because i think the server load is a bit to much with so many background reloads.

Copied from the main site at http://hisham.hm/htop/ ?

Actually, it's the other way around - htop main site copied the idea from the post GP linked, and also doesn't display a live htop output but animates few fixed frames from said post instead.

I was just installing an older version the other day on FreeBSD, and having to mount (unmaintained) procfs was quite annoying. So after seeing this link I specifically went to their site to check what they mean by "cross platform". They say procfs won't be needed anymore. Speaking of which, does anyone know why OpenJDK wants procfs on FreeBSD? Is this a Java thing or a problem with libraries people write using Java?

I think it is OpenJDK that want's procfs and fdescfs.

Does that mean that it now works on OSX without root?

Works for me. Had to build from source (couldn't find an OSX binary), but it compiled without a single warning, which is probably a record for something not OSX-specific. make install still requires root, of course, but it runs fine from the build directory.

Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.

Is there a way to combine all the processes with the same command name? I have a ton of mariadb processes (I don't even know if this is normal, but it seems to be working just fine) and it gets tiring having to scroll them just to glance the numbers on other processes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghwsh6ye1gt32k1/Screenshot%202016-...

The processes may be forks. Java does this too. Try pushing F5 and see if that cleans things up.
