Mission Center, the popular Linux system monitor and task manager app, released new 1.1.0 version today.<\/p>\n

The new release of this free open-source app improved CPU monitoring support. It can now display the amount of electrical energy that CPU consumes in watts.<\/p>\n

It works by reading \/sys\/class\/powercap\/intel-rapl*\/energy_uj<\/code> for CPU power draw. The file is however unreadable by default for security reason. Meaning user needs to grant read access permission<\/b> by running the command below in terminal:<\/p>\n

sudo chmod a+r \/sys\/class\/powercap\/intel-rapl*\/energy_uj<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
For AMD, the feature request<\/a> page does not mention AMD processors, and I don’t have a AMD CPU to try it out.<\/p>\n

The app also overhauled the Services page<\/b>. The services are now grouped into “User Services” and “System Services”. And, it supports filtering services on Running, Failed, Stopped, and\/or Disabled status.<\/p>\n
As well, it now supports view child processes (if any) for services, and allows to send signal (e.g., Suspend, Continue, Hangup, Interrupt, Terminate, and Kill) by right-clicking on a process.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Besides that, it added new “About System” dialog that can be launched from the hamburger menu, which displays the name and version info of Linux Distribution, package manager, Kernel, and desktop environment.<\/p>\n
