Dear Maintainer, I just wanted to let you know that the output for htop (after installation) is out of order: Message for htop-1.0.3: *********************************************************** htop(1) requires linprocfs(5) to be mounted. If you don't have it mounted already, please add this line to /etc/fstab and run `mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc; ln -s /usr/compat /compat; mount linproc`: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,late 0 0 *********************************************************** should be Message for htop-1.0.3: *********************************************************** htop(1) requires linprocfs(5) to be mounted. If you don't have it mounted already, please add this line to /etc/fstab linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,late 0 0 and run `mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc; ln -s /usr/compat /compat; mount linproc`: *********************************************************** The last line should be before the mkdir commands, to prevent users from incorrectly adding the "mkdir ..." commands to /etc/rc.conf I installed htop using 'pkg install htop-1.0.3'. Output of 'pkg info htop-1.0.3': htop-1.0.3 Name : htop Version : 1.0.3 Installed on : Sat Sep 12 03:11:13 MDT 2015 Origin : sysutils/htop Architecture : freebsd:10:x86:64 Prefix : /usr/local Categories : sysutils Licenses : GPLv2 Maintainer : gaod@hychen.org WWW : http://htop.sourceforge.net/ Comment : Better top(1) - interactive process viewer Options : LSOF : on Annotations : repo_type : binary repository : FreeBSD Flat size : 151KiB Description : htop is an enhanced version of top, the interactive process viewer, which can display the list of processes in a tree form. Comparison between 'htop' and 'top' * In 'htop' you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and full command lines. * In 'top' you are subject to a delay for each unassigned key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape sequences are triggered by accident). * 'htop' starts faster ('top' seems to collect data for a while before displaying anything). * In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number to kill a process, in 'top' you do. * In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number or the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do. * In 'htop' you can kill multiple processes at once. * 'top' is older, hence, more tested.
