Using Doom to monitor your Unix processes

thewayneThis is cool. The code to Doom was released as open source, these people modified it so that you can partially manage a Unix system with it! Shoot a monster (process) to reduce the priority that it was executing at, kill it to kill the process. Lower level admins get small guns with limited ammo, senior admins get big guns.
Very interesting concept. It is also somewhat dated, the original was written back in 2000. There's a link in the article for a lava lamp-like process monitor, and I'm going to see if I can make it work on my Mac! They say it runs on a Mac, so we'll see if I'm smart enough to make it work (probably not).
