[Feature Request] Option to show only the top info

Open Justinzobel opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I am often monitoring a server over ssh to see it's load, CPU usage, etc. I'm less interested in the individual processes and an option to only show the system stats, load, uptime, etc would be great!

Thank you for htop, it's an invaluable tool!

This idea has come up before - from memory of the previous discussions @fasterit suggested adding a 'hmon' utility alongside 'htop' that served this function, and sharing code (IIRC there's concerns around conflicting htoprc config file changes for htop use on multi-user systems where not everyone would want this behavior persisted - I may be misremembering that part though).
