Zombie Process Manager

Tested on macOS.

Zombie is a super fast, modern terminal-based process manager (TUI) written in Rust. It allows you to take a peek at process topology trees, kill dead processes, restart processes, add tags or notes to the processes and monitor system resources.

Features

• Process Topology: To visualise parent-child connections, uses a clear tree structure.
• Smart Sorting: To quickly identify resource hogs, sort by CPU (c), Memory (m), or PID (p).
• Safe Management: To kill, restart, or "clean" dead processes, use confirmation dialogues (Shift + X).
• Inspect: Take a close look at process pathways, start timings, and environment variables.
• History: If necessary, you may simply restart the procedure without having to input the entire command again because the previous one has been stored.
• To the processes, add your own Tags and Notes.
