AUAFL

Another utility application for Linux.
A powerful, custom-built task manager for Linux featuring a modern GUI, real-time updates, and precise control over system processes – now with temperature sensor monitoring!

Features

• Real-Time Process Monitoring

  • Displays CPU utilization and memory metrics such as:
    • VmRSS
    • VmSwap
    • VmPeak
    • Threads
  • Continuously polls data every second to ensure up-to-date system information.

• Smart Process Aggregation

  • Groups processes by name and calculates average memory/thread statistics across matching PIDs.
  • Ideal for tracking performance of multi-process applications (e.g., Chrome).

• Sorting and Filtering

  • Dynamically sorts processes in both ascending and descending order by:
    • CPU utilization
    • Memory usage (VmRSS, VmSwap, VmPeak)
    • Thread count

• Process Termination

  • Allows graceful process termination using SIGTERM.
  • Offers forceful process termination with SIGKILL for unresponsive processes.
  • Terminates all grouped PIDs under a process name for complete cleanup.

• Temperature Sensors

  • Now integrated with additional temperature sensors for different thermals.
  • Reads thermal data directly from the sys/class/thermal directory, providing real-time monitoring of various system thermal zones.

• Frontend

  • Built with React and Vite for a fast, sleek user interface.
  • Offers interactive controls for sorting, filtering, and comprehensive process management.

Architecture Overview

• Backend:
  A Node.js server that parses the /proc file system to gather and compute metrics without relying on third-party libraries.

• Frontend:
  A React + Vite application that displays task data and supports interactive sorting and management.

Planned Features

• Fan control (auto/manual)
• Enhanced CPU/GPU temperature readings
• Exportable logs or snapshots
• Process prioritization (renice-style control)

Installation

Build it locally:

Navigate to the main.ts file, locate the startBackend function, and replace the command variable's value with your computer's path to Node.js in the else block.

Run:

npm run package
sudo dpkg -i auafl-1.0.0.deb
auafl
