gkrellm is a nice system monitor that keeps a tab on CPU, disk, proc, network, NFS, memory, and swap usage, along with a whole host of other things. I find it to be an invaluable tool, along with xosview. To install it, use yum:
~>
sudo yum install gkrellm
gkrellm-aclock gkrellm-daemon gkrellm-freq
gkrellm-moon gkrellm-sun gkrellm-top gkrellm-volume gkrellm-weather gkrellm-wifi
Press 'y' when
prompted to install the programs and any additional dependencies. After it is installed, source your ~/.bashrc
file: ~>
source ~/.bashrc
You are now ready to launch gkrellm: ~>
gkrellm &
Again, gkrellm
is a wonderful little system monitor that provides some very useful
information about the state of your system. To learn more about it,
read the man
page.
