I was using an ubuntu server I found via Alestic a few months ago and it had this great little informative box at the bottom of the SSH screen which told me things like:
- current bandwidth upload/download
- current cpu usage
- current memory usage
- etc.
For the life of me, I can’t remember what it is called?
I liked it because it was always running and giving me instant feedback about any scripts I was testing.
Maybe byobu?
