A while ago I modified kp to include process priority setting and tidied the output a little but fancied doing a gtk version.
So what did I stumble accros but another zigbert special . So with the aid of this i've added in the mods from kp...I've attached both for anyone to try out

excellent!!!
I will add this soon. This is good stuff, but my todo-list for Pprocess is not empty yet.

Thank you

Love the new layout.

Nice one with the search function too.

and that award winning 'kill' button says everything

One of the things that always annoyed me about kp is that it truncates long process names (or whatever they are), so I can have several with the same name (as far as I can tell), so I need to use htop to kill the one I want. Pprocess seems to have the same problem.
Is this a limitation of the tools pprocess has to use?

[Lobster]

good work (I am using it in Puppy Lassie)
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/TalkingStickLassie

but I assume it would work in any Puppy from 2.10 onward?
Fortunately I am a heretic Buddhist so I accept killing
as part of life

A very useful program for me as I am often running Betas, Alphas
and experimental Puppies that need to have their bugs
deloused . . .

On the whole I do not kill insects
unless I intend to eat them.

OK off for a quick sedative . . . before I start rambling about ahimsa

'init' will be removed

Lobster
To be less aggressive, should we rename 'KILL process' to 'Make process sleep to the end of eternity'

disciple
I haven't noticed this before. Ps inside Pprocess truncates input as default rxvt-size. Also tried it in Puppy 4 since I mean to remember that Barry has put in the full ps-command. Not only the one from busybox. Right now, I don't have any idea....

hi zigbert

Excellent process application, tried it last night and worked just fine
I noticed you had sliding scroll-bar, and when i seen that, the lightbulb went on again, Basically a few people have noticed that in "Pmount" if you have 12+ partitions or drives you can't view the bottom ones because of no sliding up/down scroll-bar. Any chance of maybe adding one? Man I would ike to learn this code, any good ebooks? When i look at the source code it reminds me a bit of html.
well keep up the excellent work.

hmm the word sophisticated comes to mind

I noticed you have scrapped the list height code as unecessary...I set the width to around 520 which eliminates the horizontal scrollbar as ps truncates everything neatly anyway.

I also removed pprocess from the list...just my warped way of thinking.

hmm a button to conveniently launch top?

mike

now where is that cpu/memory monitor going to fit.....
