Processes Status Analysis
version 0.3

Processes Status Analysis (psa) cross-platform application that allows different analyses over the operating system's processes.

Parameters

• -a : list all processes information from current processes snapshot.
• -e [no] : top [no] most expensive memory consuming processes | top 10 by default
• -k : kill specific process by PID
• -o : info only one process name criteria
• -t [pid] : tree snapshot of current processes or of the subprocesses of a specified process PID.

Usage

All the results can be redirected within a file. Usage examples.

psa -t                                    // full snapshot tree
psa -t 768                                // tree with the children processes of the process PID 768
psa -o chrome                             // find how much memory uses your Chrome!   o_O
psa -t > processes_tree.txt               // full snapshot tree redirection to a file
psa -e 20 > top_expensive_processes.txt   // top most 'expensive' processes and save information in a file 
psa -k notep                              // kill all the processs containing 'notep' within the process name
psa -k 7891                               // kill the process having PID = 7891 

Compatibility
