Nyra

NYRA — Network Yield Runtime Assistant : System assistant for process control and monitoring.

It provides a single, unified interface for interacting with processes on Linux:

-   launching programs
-   listing running tasks 
-   stopping them
-   inspecting resource usage

While traditional Linux tools like ps, kill, and htop exist as separate utilities,
Nyra focuses on automation, consistent ergonomics, and a Rust-native developer interface — making it suitable both as a command-line tool and an embeddable library.

Features

Examples

• Start a program:

Nyra run firefox

• View running processes:

Nyra list

• Stop a process:

Nyra stop 2173

• Check usage stats:

Nyra stats 2173

Roadmap

Nyra is under active development.
Planned upcoming features:

Supervision Mode

• Automatically restart a process if it exits:

nyra supervise firefox

Sandboxed Execution

• Run untrusted programs with restricted system access:

nyra sandbox run "python script.py"

Live Top Mode

Real-time terminal dashboard similar to htop:

nyra top

Force Stop

Provide a SIGKILL fallback when SIGTERM is ignored:

nyra stop <pid> --force

🎯 Vision

Linux provides powerful primitives — signals, /proc, namespaces, cgroups —
but they are fragmented across many command-line tools and scripting interfaces.

Nyra aims to unify these capabilities into:

• one consistent CLI
• one stable Rust API
• one programmable automation layer

It is designed for:

• DevOps automation
• Sandboxing and experimentation
• Process supervision and local orchestration
• Systems research and education
• Embedded and developer tooling

Nyra is not trying to replace Linux tooling —
it is giving those tools a programmable, ergonomic, and portable interface.

🛠️ Installation (local)

cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/Nyra/usr/local/bin/

Then run:
