ps3 is a utility for monitoring process activity on a Linux machine. It is a little bit like top, except that:
- it displays all processes
- it updates itself up to 100 times per second instead of once every three seconds
- it shows a 3D chart, with interactive rotation, zooming and scaling
- OpenGL
- SDL 1.2.5 or newer
- libpng
On Ubuntu 12.04, installing libglu1-mesa-dev and libsdl1.2-dev seems to be enough.
For smooth rendering, you need a Geforce or Radeon graphics card.
Just type make.
For the time being, you need to run ps3 from the directory where you compiled it in order to find the font directory.
