Non interactive mode?

[Lucas-C]

Hi!

I have just discovered (coming from gotop and then ytop) & tested bottom, and it is great!
Thank you for maintaining it 😊

I am looking for a non interactive tool that provides the list of Windows processes currently running, with their CPU & memory usage
(and ideally limit this list to 10 or 20 rows).

I haven't found any related option in the documentation ( https://clementtsang.github.io/bottom/nightly/configuration/command-line-flags/ ), but I dare to ask: does bottom has a non interactive (aka "single-print-on-terminal") mode?
And if no, would you recommend any altternative by chance?

Sorry, but I'm not totally sure what you're asking. Could using the config to only display processes be fine? As for only specific columns, that's an upcoming feature.

I have tried that already, using this TOML configuration:

[[row]]
  [[row.child]]
    type="proc"
    default=true

It's great, but I'd like to run a bottom in the context of a Windows CI pipeline, to have grasp of what processes are currently eating up CPU / RAM. That is why I need a non-interactive mode.

Is that clearer?

Hmm. So you just want it to return a single snapshot of process usage, is that correct?

As I might actually have something that might do that planned, though it was more in the context as a debug tool for bug reports.

Sounds interesting!

Thank you for your answer 😊
