JSTop - Version: 0.0.3

Summary

JSTop is a Javascript Resource Aplication Monitor for WebOS. It monitors running webOS applications' memory usage, service usage, and total memory usage of the phone. Applications may be killed by tapping on them and pressing the "Kill It!" option of the popup box.

Nodes refers to the number of DOM nodes an application has, roughly equal to it's memory usage on the phone.

Open Service Handles are the number of services the application is waiting on to return. This number can be equated to a rough estimate of CPU usage (though they often total > 100).

Applications with orange names are system applications like the phone, calendar, system ui, etc. Kill these at your own risk. (Phone for example takes > 1 minute to relaunch the phone app after killed).

(NOTE: Do not kill pid 1007 Systemui unless you want to restart Luna!)

Can't upgrade/delete version 0.0.1?

If you can't upgrade or delete version 0.0.1 of JsTop, this is due to a (since fixed) packaging error. To fix this, ssh or novaterm to your pre and run

mv /var/usr/palm/applications/biz.sketchyplace.jstop /var/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.biz.sketchyplace.jstop.

Now you can upgrade/remove!
