Easier way to scan the "RESTARTS" column

[srid]

Feature Request

Make it easier to look for non-zero numbers in the RESTARTS column.

Use Case:

When you have 20 processes, and only one of them has restarted non-zero of times, I'd like to see which process that is by a quick scan.

Proposed Change:

Replace 0 with - (or even empty cell)

In this example, kafka has restarted 3 times (no other processes restarted) -- which had us file juspay/services-flake#72 -- but you have to more or less do a O(n) scan of the RESTARTs column to get to it. Can we visually make it easy to spot that?

Who Benefits From The Change(s)?

Everyone?

Alternative Approaches

None I can think of.

Hi @srid,
As an alternative, did you try sorting the processes by the restart count, SHIFT-R in this case?

[srid]

That's a good alternative, though I'd say having a quick way to visually scan (without explicit user action) would be nice as well.

Hi @srid,

I tried the proposed approach to show only positive restarts count.
The empty cell disagrees with my OCD and doesn't look well when there are no restarts at all:

If I use - it looks better:

I also tried to use the bold font style, at least in my terminal the difference is invisible...
Then I tried a slightly darker blue:

Which one do you think looks the best?
👍🏻 - First image.
🎉 - Second image.
🚀 - Third image.

Probably use the same for exit code column (and maybe have the same for age/health) as well? Just to be consistent.

@F1bonacc1 Interesting.

I'd say the second image (using -) is better (I see there are already 3 votes for it.)

In regards to the third image, the color difference is not super obvious, so it looks more or less like the first image

Probably use the same for exit code column (and maybe have the same for age/health) as well? Just to be consistent.

I also noticed how the exit code column shows 0 for processes that are still running. How can a running process have a exit code (here, 0) when it has not exited?

EDIT: Perhaps - should be used for have-not-exited processes? Just like - is being proposed to be used for have-not-restarted processes.

Will be part of the next release.

Added in v0.81.4
Please let me know if it works as expected.
