bpytop – Awesome Linux, macOS and FreeBSD resource monitor

 

The bashtop is an impressive Linux resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, and network. However, it suffers from bash itself, and cross-platform support is a nightmare. Now we have the Python port of bashtop. We can use a resource monitor that shows usage and stats for CPU, RAM, SSD (hard disk), network, and processes information in a lovely format.

bpytop – Awesome Linux, macOS and FreeBSD resource monitor

Not just the bpytop tool is impressive, but it offers tons of features. Here is a list of some of the features I found useful before we install awesome bpytop command on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD Unix:

  1. Extremely easy to use with gaming style menu system.
  2. Beautiful user interface.
  3. Full mouse support in its glory. We can scroll and click. The days are gone when you need to remember tons of keyboard shortcuts. Of course, we can use the arrow and other keys to control responsive UI.
  4. Various function keys to obtain in-depth statistics for running Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD process.
  5. Sorting and filtering processes supported with filters.
  6. We can also send various Unix signals to the selected process.
  7. The bpytop will do an auto-updating graph for your server’s network usage.
  8. Get a piece of quick information about current read and write speeds for your systems disk usage.

A note about software dependencies: It would be best to have Python3 (v3.6 or later) and the psutil module (v5.7.0 or later). Make sure you are using OpenSSH for a remote server running in clouds.

The best way to install the bpytop is by typing the following command to install or upgrade to the latest version:
$ pip3 install bpytop --upgrade

Arch Linux install bytop

There is a utility called “ xsct ” or screen color temperature for Debian-based systems which is super lightweight to install and very easy to use. Open up a terminal and install it using below. sudo apt install sct Once installed, you can start using it anytime with just a command. Even you can use it for your shell script as well. Syntax sct [temperature]   What is Color Temperature As per Wikipedia – “ Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, horticulture, and other fields” . It has a value range from 1000k to 10000k (k = unit in Kelvin) which controls the display brightness. In layman’s term, the default color temperature value of your monitor is 6500k. So, anything upwards e.g. 7000k, etc are “blue-ish” or “cooler” and downwards are “warmer” or “yellow-ish”. Take a look at this chart (credit: Wikipedia).
