Master intelligent process management with Process Triage.
PT (Process Triage) identifies and terminates abandoned or zombie processes using a Bayesian-inspired scoring algorithm. It evaluates process type, age, orphan status, and resource usage to calculate abandonment probability.
PT remembers your kill/spare decisions for similar processes, improving recommendations over time. It requires explicit confirmation and attempts graceful SIGTERM first.
