System Diagnostics Tool
Summary
witr is a read-only CLI tool designed to explain the causal origins of running processes, services, or ports on Linux and macOS systems. It traces the startup chain and context of a target to answer 'why is this running?', providing human-readable output without requiring configuration.
Highlights
- Explains the causal chain of how a process, service, or port started and what keeps it running.
- Supports queries by process name, PID, or port, converging all inputs to PID analysis.
- Provides structured output including process details, ancestry, source (e.g., systemd), and context.
- Designed for debugging and outages with zero configuration, prioritizing clarity over completeness.
- Available via Homebrew, AUR, Nix, and manual scripts for macOS and Linux environments.
