[GLLUG] console based monitoring of server.

[Charles Ulrich]

Hi Peter,

No doubt there are probably several that will do this with enough 
tweaking. But in my experience, you can spend hours looking for one 
that's close enough or 15 minutes just scripting the one you want:

#!/bin/sh
source /etc/os-release
echo "$PRETTY_NAME / $(uname -s) $(uname -r) $(uname -m)"
echo
uptime
echo
free
echo
df -h /
echo
ip addr show eth0 | grep inet

Just run something like that with the "watch" command for automatic updates.

Thanks,
Charles
