💖 scomes(8) — bestie's guide to watching your system resources 💖

okay so. hi. welcome to the manual page for scomes, which lives in section 8 of the manual (yes, the section-8 girlies, we're in admin tool territory, very demure, very powerful 💅). this whole thing is a tool for watching system resources, and honestly? she's simple, she's iconic, she eats.

✨ NAME ✨

scomes — tool for watching system resources 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scomes -c "binary [binary arguments ...]" [timer]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. -c with your command in quotes, and optionally a timer if you're feeling spicy 🔥

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so scomes is a simple systemtap script for watching the activity of one process. one (1) process. your main character process. 👑

and the way that it's literally measuring everything about that process? obsessed:

• syscalls count
• userspace and kernelspace ticks
• read and written bytes
• transmitted and received bytes
• polling syscalls

like she's keeping receipts on all of it, no cap 🧾✨

the arguments, bestie

• binary — the binary file to be executed. this process will be watched 👀
• timer — setting this option causes the script to print out statistic every N seconds. if it's not provided, the statistics are printed only when the watched process terminates. so like, no timer = you get the tea at the very end, one big dramatic reveal 🎀
