I am interested in writing an application that functions like a Unix or Linux top in the way it displays data. It should be command-line based but dynamically refreshing.
You might look at the sourcecode for "iotop"[1] which would make a good example (it's a "top"-like program written in Python, used for monitoring I/O transactions on a per-process basis)
