Devil's Pie: Free Resource Management Tool

Devil's Pie is a free, open source application for Linux that allows you to control resource usage of running processes. It has a simple interface to set restrictions and priorities.

What is Devil's Pie?

Devil's Pie is a lightweight application for the Linux operating system that gives users more control over managing resources used by running processes. It provides an easy way to set restrictions and priorities for how applications use CPU time, network bandwidth, and memory.

Some key features of Devil's Pie include:

• Set custom resource usage limits for any process
• Prevent processes from taking up too many system resources
• Prioritize essential or real-time applications over others
• View current and historical usage graphs per process
• Export configurable reports
• Setup profiles to quickly apply common rule sets
• Open source and customizable

Devil's Pie gets its name from allowing you to divide up the resource "pie" between running processes as needed. It can help optimize performance if certain apps are becoming resource hogs. And its simple GUI makes it easy to tweak settings until the desired balance is achieved.

Overall, Devil's Pie provides more advanced control over running processes than the standard task manager. It's a helpful tool for Linux power users and system administrators to better allocate resources.
