sysmon.ps1

A tiny (yet experimental) PowerShell system monitor that displays live CPU, RAM, and GPU stats directly in your terminal — no GUI needed.

---

🖥️ Example Output

Here is what it looks like in action:

---

📊 What It Shows

• CPU Total — overall system CPU usage
• Core X — per-core utilization (each bar = activity level)
• Memory — RAM usage (used vs total in MB)
• GPU Usage — currently not functional on most systems and will show N/A
• Top 5 CPU Processes — five processes with the highest total CPU time since startup

💡 Tip: The “CPU” number per process (e.g., 149.6 CPU) shows the total accumulated CPU seconds since the process started — it does not reset between updates.

---

⚙️ Usage

1. Open PowerShell and navigate to the folder containing the script:

   cd C:\path\to\script

2. Run the monitor:

   .\sysmon.ps1

3. To stop monitoring, press Ctrl + C.

The display refreshes every 5 seconds and updates smoothly without blinking.

⚠️ Experimental

This project is experimental and may occasionally crash or display errors (especially due to Windows performance counter bugs). If it stops unexpectedly, just re-run it.
