It’s really very tough job for every System or Network administrator to monitor and debug Linux System Performance problems every day. After being a Linux Administrator for 5 years in IT industry, I came to know that how hard is to monitor and keep systems up and running. For this reason, we’ve compiled the list of Top 20 frequently used command line monitoring tools that might be useful for every Linux/Unix System Administrator. These commands are available under all flavors of Linux and can be useful to monitor and find the actual causes of performance problem. This list of commands shown here are very enough for you to pick the one that is suitable for your monitoring scenario.............

Very interesting stuff, Josh- and a lot to chew on. I'm going to have to spend some time

to better understand these. Thanks for the post!

 

One thing I have repeatedly wished I had is a tool to figure out "what is using my

network right now (and is it legitimate?)" Some of the items in this list of 20 do just that.

But OTOH they are often just command line lists, so it takes a lot of practice before

one gets a sense of "what's normal" on a given machine and network.

 

The commands I've been finding useful lately are simple things like

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
sudo udisks --dump | grep -A 24 Updates

These give some good idea how well your hard drives are working...

 

Lately I've been doing a good bit of

sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

That puts dialup on each box I install it on...

Heh!
