Hi!

I wonder, how I get information like cpu usage (not top! only one line or so), hdd usage and network traffic without using a smnp, but using the terminal (ssh)?

I know this commands:
* watch x86info -mhz -> getting current CPU MHz (speedstepping)
* smartctl -A /dev/hda -> SMART information
* cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature -> CPU temperature
* ifconfig -> current IP and summary of traffic
* df -h -> current hdd freespace

I think, there are many more tools, perhaps one ore two for cpu usage, hdd usage and network traffic

Thanks a lot!

The command "w" will give you a printout of loadaverages, uptime, and whose logged in. I'm not sure what you can use for a printout of network information in the manner you describe (I assume you're wanting to use it in a script?). IPtraf is essentially a command line (ncurses) version of ethereal though.

why not top?

Code: Select all

top -bn1 | grep Cpu

Only reason: I didn't know, that is usable by this way

I'm learning Linux, Gentoo and all tools (I need) step by step.

Thanks a lot!
