I watch htop all day, even at work on mobile.
I also use it to upgrade kernels, php, mysql, clean junk data and modify files.
I have SSH idled like 3 of them cause I work in a VPS Company. Min. 3 everyday.
And some are still opened on my VPS when I VNC it.
I use putty, and I realized I always have 4 open. One for 3 of my IRCds, and a 4th on for my online game. :p
