REAL-TIME SYSTEM RESOURCE TRACKER

A lightweight Windows batch file designed to monitor and display essential system resource usage metrics in real-time. This tool focuses on:

• CPU Usage
• Memory Consumption
• Disk Activity

This tracker is ideal for developers, IT professionals, and system administrators who need a convenient, installation-free way to monitor system health, identify resource-intensive processes, and maintain system stability.

Features

1. Real-Time Monitoring:

   • Displays CPU usage percentage, memory utilization, and disk activity metrics.

2. CPU Usage Insights:

   • Indicates how much of the CPU's processing power is being used by all running applications.
   • High CPU usage (e.g., above 80–90%) might indicate resource-intensive applications or excessive process demands.

3. Memory Usage Insights:

   • Provides details on active memory usage versus free memory.
   • Allows freeing memory when usage is high to optimize performance.

4. Disk Activity Insights:

   • Shows either storage utilization or disk read/write activity intensity.
   • High disk usage may point to background tasks, large file access, or intensive disk operations.
   • Includes an option to free up disk space.

5. Interactive Optimization Options:

   • Allows users to release memory or disk space to improve performance.

How It Works

The batch script leverages built-in Windows command-line utilities like tasklist, wmic, and perfmon to extract and display system metrics.

• CPU usage is monitored using performance counters.
• Memory and disk usage statistics are retrieved and displayed in real time.
• Built-in options to optimize memory and disk space when required.

Usage
