I love the idea of Bashtop, though I wish it were for the normal Dash shell. If there were one thing I could change in the Linux Kernel, I would make the way it handles hardware a bit different, and more logical, so that you could use cat, grep, awk, etc. to fetch those stats more easily, from files and folders. You can now, but it's not always the best experience in the world.

That's definitely r/UnixPorn friendly. I too was getting some flickering when in the Menu. I'm not sure if that's a compositor issue because my terminal is transparent at the moment. But a pretty nice little utility there. I guess it would have to be with 3000+ lines of code. :)

So if this seems too obvious please disregard. But I created an alias called 'btop' and pointed it to the bashtop script. Works great. Now you can type 'top', 'htop', or 'btop'. Whatever you like. I'm adding on to this.....Or you could just rename bashtop to btop. LOL

As a system monitor it might be not practical (due to performance), but for learning bash and system scripting, using linux commands to extract all that info, understanding terminal I/O... You probably won't need any other tutorial... Impressive!

This is really really cool. And being written in bash makes it even better. Glances is written in python and it isn't much lighter, doesn't look half as nice though. Really the only downside it has is that it doesn't work in very small terminals.

wow... when the video started I was pretty sure I wouldn't want a process viewer written entirely in bash.. but when you presented it my chin hit the ground, incredible someone wrote that completely in bash! I'm gonna give it a try! :D

I'm on my Windows drive now to play games and I started to access the terminal then realized I'm on Windows right now haha. I first noticed my panel was at the bottom -Did I switch to dash-to-panel and forget about it?- and then it hit me.

To those of you complaining this is too bloated, I offer this simple solution. Delete it and just don't use it! Problem solved. I think it has a place for problem solving in your toolkit,

Woah not for old PCs ! The script uses up to 50% of my old Intel core 2 duo !!! Will stay with htop on it -_-- but thanks to you, it's a good script !

you mentioned it was an aur package for arch, i was able to just install it with -pacman -Sy bashtop- so it looks likes its also a normal package as well
