Thanks, but I'm looking for terminal-based programs that use ASCII to represent usage visually. To elaborate -- I have about 10 servers that send me mail every morning on their current status. The status includes disk and memory usage (currently df and free). At the moment I'm reading both outputs to figure out if the server is reaching its limits, but it would be nice if I could just glance at the mail and figure out how much disk and memory is being used without having to read the individual figures. Reading 100 numbers and correlating them early every morning is no fun, I can assure you :) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [email protected] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
