The computer and its processes

Two panes show the computer a thread runs on. The Computer pane shows its load, memory and disk. The Processes pane lists what runs on it, and you can stop a process from there.

With no thread open, both panes show the computer you sit at.

The Computer pane

To open it, click Add a panel, the + at the top of the right panel, and pick Computer. If the right panel is empty, it has no +. Click the pane in the list the empty panel shows instead. In that menu or that list, M picks it too.

The pane draws three lines over the last two minutes:

• Load, the load average over one minute.
• Memory, how much is in use, out of the total.
• Disk, how much is in use, out of the total.

The daemon on that computer sends a reading every 2 seconds. The memory and disk lines turn to a warning color at 70% and to a danger color at 90%.

Under the lines, the pane names the computer and what it has: its cores and its memory. For a thread, it also names the thread's state, where it runs and the project folder.

If the computer does not answer, the lines say unreachable, paused, unavailable or pending in place of a value.

The Processes pane

To open it, click Add a panel, the + at the top of the right panel, and pick Processes. If the right panel is empty, it has no +. Click the pane in the list the empty panel shows instead. In that menu or that list, P picks it too.

The pane is one table with four columns: pid, cpu, mem and command. Child processes sit under their parent. The heaviest process comes first.

• Click the cpu or mem header to sort by it. The pane sorts by cpu first.
• Type in filter to keep only the rows that match.
• The count at the top says how many rows show, for example 12 of 230.

wsp names its own rows. A row marked agent is a thread's agent, terminal is a shell in a terminal pane, and wsp is wsp itself. On your own computers, the thread's processes come first under the thread's title, and the rest sit under Everything else.

The pane reads the full list once and then the changes every 5 seconds. It shows up to 1,000 processes.

Read one process

Click a row, or select it and press Enter, to open it. The pane shows the process's user, state, start time, threads, working folder, the TCP ports it listens on, its children and its full command.

Stop a process

1. Open the row and click kill.
2. Within 2 seconds, click confirm TERM. wsp sends the process SIGTERM, and the row says TERM sent.
3. If the process is still there after 5 seconds, click kill -9, then confirm KILL. wsp sends SIGKILL.

There is no dialog. The second click within 2 seconds is the confirmation.

When the daemon stops

The daemon is the wsp program on each computer that runs terminals and reads files for the app. If it stops, the pane says that the computer's terminals and files stopped. Where wsp can start it again, the pane shows Start again.
