Glances is a free (LGPL) cross-platform curses-based system monitoring tool
|
|
|
|
|
which aims to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space, ideally
|
|
|
|
|
to fit in a classical 80x24 terminal, or larger for additional information: in
|
|
|
|
|
fact it can adapt dynamically the displayed information depending on the
|
|
|
|
|
terminal size.

Glances is written in Python and uses the psutil library to fetch statistical
|
|
|
|
|
values from key elements, like CPU, load average, memory, network, disks,
|
|
|
|
|
file systems, processes, etc.
