cp ./tree/modeer ~/el-modeer
cargo run -- -t

Command Line

Then, you can use the CLI simply through:

deer

And you can use the tree GUI through:

deer -t

Usage

Running with no arguments starts ElModeer with the system info and process table and a refresh rate of 2000 ms (2 seconds). These can be changed with command line parameters:

    el-modeer [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help               Prints help information
    -V, --version            Prints version information
    -t, --tree               Start GUI tree

OPTIONS:
    -p, --process-height <INT>    Min Percent Height of Process Table. [default: 32]
    -s, --system-info-height <INT>  Min Percent Height of System information. [default: 7]
    -r, --refresh-rate <INT>      Refresh rate in milliseconds. [default: 2000]

Don't want a section? Remove it by setting the height to 0.

For example: deer -p 0 removes the System Information.

This process manager extends builds upon the Zenith process manager, so great thanks to them!
