I run a linux box as well as a few Macs and I was wondering if there
was anything similar to htop (http://htop.sourceforge.net/) available
for the OS X terminal? I ssh my macs frequently and it would be nice
to have a terminal-based system monitor as useful htop - regular old
top isn't really cutting it.

Maybe you could describe what it is about htop that you like, instead of
expecting people to spend time studying a web site in order to answer
your question. If you want an answer, the burden's on you to ask a
meaningful question.

Thanks for the heads up, your condescension really helped make your
points clearer.

htop is similar to top except you can scroll through the tasks list
using the arrow keys. Common commands (such as kill) can be issued
within htop using the function keys. I prefer it to top because I can
manage my tasks without switching back and forth from the monitor to
the shell, or memorizing any PIDs.

I've had no luck finding anything similar for OS X, so any help would
be welcome.

Doesn't Activity Monitor (/Application/Utilities) do what you want?

Yes, but I can't use Activity Monitor when I'm using ssh to access my
mac remotely, then I have to work within the terminal. Correct me if
I'm mistaken. Thanks for your post -
