hitome

======

`hitome` is a quick and dirty system monitor that aims to be light on system

resources. Think of it as a lighter, less featureful version of

[`glances`](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances) or

[`htop`](https://htop.dev/).

`hitome` only targets Linux as it parses non-portable data from `/proc`.

Released under the Apache License, version 2.0.

Features

========

- Monitors memory usage,

- Swap/Zram usage,

- System pressure information (CPU/Mem/IO),

- Usage of each CPU core,

- Traffic to/from block devices and network interfaces,

- Hardware temperatures (as reported by the hwmon or nvml interfaces),

- Filesystem usage,

- Tasks (processes) status and CPU utilisation.

This is not meant to be a full-blown `top/htop` replacement, use these

tools instead if you want more features.

source.

Usage

=====

~~~

% hitome --help

Usage: hitome [-c ] [--columns ] [--rows ] [-w ] [-i ]

A very simple, non-interactive system monitor

Options:

  -c, --colour      true/false: use colour and other fancy escape sequences

                    (defaults to guessing based on $TERM)

  --columns         width of the terminal window, in characters (if omitted,

                    guess)

  --rows            height of the terminal window, in lines (if omitted, guess)

  -w, --column-width

                    the width of columns, in characters

  -i, --refresh-interval

                    refresh interval in milliseconds

  --help            display usage information

Dependencies

============

* Linux kernel

* A rust toolchain (only for building)

* NVML (optional; only for querying state of NVIDIA GPUs)

Installation

============

1. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/Artefact2/hitome` then `cd hitome`

2. `cargo build -r` (or `cargo build -r -F nvml` for NVIDIA GPUs)

3. Run hitome with `./target/release/hitome` or copy/symlink this file in your

   `$PATH` (eg `/usr/local/bin` or `~/.local/bin`)
