It does the following (many of which, such as DLLs, aren't applicable in *nix environments).




** ** Monitoring of process and thread startup and exit, including exit status codes

* * * Monitoring of image (DLL and kernel-mode device driver) loads

* * * More data captured for operation input and output parameters

* * * Non-destructive filters allow you to set filters without losing data

* * * Capture of thread stacks for each operation make it possible in many cases to identify the root cause of an operation

* * * Reliable capture of process details, including image path, command line, user and session ID

* * * Configurable and moveable columns for any event property

* * * Filters can be set for any data field, including fields not configured as columns

* * * Advanced logging architecture scales to tens of millions of captured events and gigabytes of log data

* * * Process tree tool shows relationship of all processes referenced in a trace

* * * Native log format preserves all data for loading in a different Process Monitor instance

* * * Process tooltip for easy viewing of process image information

* * * Detail tooltip allows convenient access to formatted data that doesn't fit in the column

* * * Cancellable search

* * * Boot time logging of all operations

Take a look at the htop package.

Sounds like it's doing a bit of what ps does, and a bit of what lsof
does, and a little bit of grep. I suggest looking through those man
pages.
