Description

witr (why-is-this-running) is a diagnostic tool that explains the causal chain of how and why a process came to exist on your system.

It answers questions like:

Why is this running?
How did it start?
What is keeping it running?
What context does it belong to?

witr supports querying by process name, PID, or port number, and provides detailed information about process ancestry, service detection (systemd on Linux, rc.d on FreeBSD), container detection (jails, docker), Git repository context, and resource usage warnings.

Features:

Zero configuration required
Read-only and non-destructive
Multiple output formats (standard, short, tree, JSON)
FreeBSD native tools support (ps, procstat, sockstat, fstat)
Works without procfs mounted

Install

As a binary package — by origin, or by package name:

pkg install sysutils/witr
pkg install witr

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/witr/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	witr>0:sysutils/witr

Packages

The version each package repository carries. “-” means the repository builds no package of it, “n/a” that there is no such repository.
