[SOLVED] Real time stats debain full screen software?

Vodkaholic1983 · 05-23-2013, 07:02 AM

Howdy all

I run a home server and I have a spare monitor. I was wondering if there was any software out there which could show the following

CPU
Ram
swap
HDD
network speeds
etc...

Basic info

Full screen (so I can just switch the monitor on it will all be there to view with ease. (in real time)

Is there anything like this?
Would be great if it auto started also

Cheers

I think conky will do what you want, it's what I use to do similar:

Thanks

I don't have the desktop installed, is there anything else you could recommend? as I don't need a desktop.

I'm afraid I only use my machines as desktops. It is possible to get conky to output to a file instead of to the screen so you could use it somehow but I suspect it may be clunky doing it like that.
Otherwise you might be left with using a few programs like top (or htop), iftop, iotop etc. and something like screen to have them all open at the same time.

I see, I thought there might of been a program out there to do all this.

I was intrigued as to whether there was anything out there and I just found nmon -- it looks like it might do what you want.

You're welcome. I'm happy to know of another tool.

Hey 273 do you know a way how I can get this command to run on start up?

Code:

nmon

If you added it to the end of your .bashrc it will start when you log in. I'm not sure how you would start it without logging on though, sorry.
