[opensuse] Running system information display in text mode?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, There are applications like top and htop that display on the first few lines the cpu load. There are other tools like iptraf to show network ussage. There are nice graphical tools like gkrelm that also display disk load, per disk, even per partition, and things like temperatures and voltages. What about a text mode application giving at least some of that? I would like something like the first few lines of "htop", with more info: network load, disks load, temperatures, fan speed... I'd like to have it running on text mode servers, or when doing maintenance or backup in text mode (clonezilla, for instance, is text mode). Do anybody know something of the kind? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Carlos, I don't know if it is what you're looking for, but I use "iostat" all the time. Normally as "iostat -d 5". It is not part of the standard install, so "zypper in systat" to get it. There are several other stat applications in systat: http://sebastien.godard.pagesperso-orange.fr/documentation.html Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The package name is sysstat, not systat. :-) And you will to give the daemon time to collects meaningful stats. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I tried that one - no, it was iotop. I'll look at iostat later, can't install packages this minute. iotop gives the correct i/o info, yes, even says the application doing it. [...] Ah, now I can install packages. Trying iostat now. "iostat -c -d 5" is almost appropriate, save that, instead of rewriting the screen, it prints another page. That is a minor issue, though. But what I'm looking for is some application that gives all the information: cpu, disk, network, sensors perhaps... in text mode. iostat doesn't give network info. At present I need to have several open consoles: top/htop, iptraf, iotop... I'd like a combined thing. If the info can be obtained easily from "/proc", a script run from watch is a possibility. Or I can have a go at coding something... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Not exactly what you want, likely, but how about an io monitor: (uses screen clear to replot the page and ANSI color for the graphs... it can be set to scroll, though, but I find that less useful...

I'd have to package it up for distribution (written in perl). Only bug I know that it has is if you resize the window, you have to hit return in the window to get it to go again -- for some reason the SIGWINCH causes the timer signal to get lost. Can change the refresh period by using +/- keys. I usually start it up in it's own Terminal window in a script that loops and runs it again if I press 'q', (aids in starting a new version). I find it a bit easier to see what I/O is going on rather than trying to look at something like iotop....ARG... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It looks about right :-)

I was thinking about writing my own app, in pascal. But I don't know where to get the info from. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I have got so far as to replicate "free" and "uptime" - more or less :-) +++························· cer@Telcontar:~/bin/lazarus/mios/SystemInfo> uptime ; echo ; free -b -l ; echo ; ./systeminfo 02:16 up 7:07, 31 users, load average: 0,09, 0,29, 0,30 total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8390156288 8143261696 246894592 79347712 1020768256 3626921984 Low: 8390156288 8143261696 246894592 High: 0 0 0 - -/+ buffers/cache: 3495571456 4894584832 Swap: 22545416192 14831616 22530584576 Uptime: 0d 7:7:34 Load avg: 0.093/0.318/0.332 (719 processes). total used free shared buffers cached Mem : 8390 --- 246 0 1020 --- Swap : 22545 --- 22530 High : 0 --- 0 mem_unit: 1 ·························++- I found a system call that returns all that data (SysInfo). Besides reformatting the output for easier comparison with the system utilities, the documentation and the example code were all wrong, I had to look up the pascal .h equivalent of the definitions. The load average could be wrong. As I'm not having to read /proc so far, this part is very fast. If I could find more function calls for the rest of the data, it would be wonderful.
