Feature request: add HTOP as a menu option

[Chris.karst]

Is it possibleto add an item on the system munu to run htop on the system menu that showson the connected monitor?

I feel this would be a good addition to aid diagnosis in loo of a GUI which adds too much overhead.

Its available from CLI

HTOP

Hello everybody, I'm new to freenas and I would like to solve a problem of random freezing of the system. For this purpose, I would like to monitor the hardware and need to use HTOP. Unfortunately I don't know how to install it nor to start it. Can someone help in this ? Thanks

Drop into a shell and type htop<ENTER> ...

I realize I can choose the shell option then enter htop but it might be nice to have a menu item for it to aid diagnosis for those not familiar with cli.

I realize it is an easy command, but it may help those that don't live in Linux and need that little nudge to remember what to do.

Might help people find what is slowing their system, there have been a number of posts lately concerning slow or non responding.

If we found that it was a common tool that helped diagnosis, it would first of all get more documentation and then perhaps UI support. However, using htop requires more knowledge of internal processes than is normally documented.

So, let's start with the problems it solves..... they would be good to then add as a suggestion in jira (report a bug)
