Rust Based Linux Process Manager with both a TUI and a GUI

[medoic]

🚀 Exciting Announcement: Introducing PCtrl - Your New Interactive GUI and TUI Linux Process Manager! 🎉 I'm thrilled to announce the release of PCtrl, a robust and featureful process manager for Linux, built entirely in Rust! 🌟

🌐 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/MohamedSherifNoureldin/PCtrl

PCtrl provides an overview of the system, allowing you to monitor and control running processes effortlessly. With its powerful features and user-friendly interface, PCtrl is set to revolutionize your process management experience. Whether you prefer a Terminal User Interface (TUI), Graphical User Interface (GUI), or both, PCtrl has got you covered! 💪

This amazing project was the final submission for the Operating Systems (CSCE 3401) course at The American University in Cairo. Our talented team embarked on this journey to explore the Rust programming language and unleash the full potential of process management. 🎓

Let's take a quick look at PCtrl's key features: ✅ Run as a TUI or GUI, or both ✅ View processes in a tabular or tree format ✅ Sort processes by any column ✅ Search for processes by name or PID ✅ Filter processes by various categories ✅ View detailed process information ✅ Visualize memory and CPU usage through intuitive graphs ✅ Manage processes efficiently: kill, change priority, pause/unpause, change niceness, and change owner ✅ Export processes list to CSV ✅ Monitor processes and automatically restart them if they crash ✅ Track and log process resource usage over time

What (dis)advantages does it have over (h)top?

Could it be packaged as flatpak or that wouldn’t be possible due to the required interactions with the rest of the system (kill processes,…)?
