My Sample Output

ncurses

ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

Within the Udacity Workspace, .student_bashrc automatically installs ncurses every time you launch the Workspace.

If you are not using the Workspace, install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Make

This project uses Make. The Makefile has four targets:

• build compiles the source code and generates an executable
• format applies ClangFormat to style the source code
• debug compiles the source code and generates an executable, including debugging symbols
• clean deletes the build/ directory, including all of the build artifacts

Instructions

1. Clone the project repository: git clone https://github.com/udacity/CppND-System-Monitor-Project-Updated.git
2. Build the project: make build
3. Run the resulting executable: ./build/monitor
4. Follow along with the lesson.
5. Implement the System, Process, and Processor classes, as well as functions within the LinuxParser namespace.
6. Submit!

Suggestions to Make Your Project Stand Out!

• Calculate CPU utilization dynamically, based on recent utilization
• Sort processes based on CPU or memory utilization
• Make the display interactive
• Restructure the program to use abstract classes (interfaces) and pure virtual functions
• Port the program to another operating system
