I think any real world environment in which this would be feasible would be served better by other tools. This is because in order to render a process that needs to be killed a system needs to know that it is a bad process. But if you know how to simply identify bad processes you would just write a script to kill it, which is widely done now.
What you are doing at best is converting textual information into visual one, I can't really see a way to do that without drastically increasing complexity of representation.
