Sysit

System Sit, check on the system with a quick glance!

About

System resources overview within 50 characters. Relies on sysinfo to get all the relevant system information.

Install

Build it: cargo install sysit or download the pre-built binaries for the latest release.

Reasoning

The ability to quickly see basic system information without needing a context switch can be useful. sysit is easy to incorporate in the various status bars - such as that of tmux, i3/sway etc.

Understanding the output

M: Memory Usage C: CPU Usage and Frequency T: Temperature for the hottest sensor. P: Network Ping

Usage

From the console

Simply type sysit for a quick glance at the system information. rohan in mir in sysit on  master is 📦 v0.1.0 via 🦀 v1.49.0 at 17:45:13 ❯ sysit M: 17% | C: 19% @ 600 MHz | T: 60°C | P: 4.12 ms

This can also be used with a desktop manager's applets. For example, Xfce's genmon.

Continuous Monitoring

Watch Mode

Works as if watch sysit. Can be used within tmux status line for continuous monitoring. Eg: tmux.conf set -g status-right '#[fg=yellow] #(sysit -wi 2) #[fg=colour235,bg=colour252,bold] %a %d %b %H:%M:%S #[fg=colour252,bg=colour238,nobold]#[fg=colour245,bg=colour238,bold]' Watch mode with sysit -wi 2 has a benefit of maintaining a single process. Just using plain sysit command will also work, but that'd mean tmux spawns a new process every time.

Log Mode

At times it can be handy to log system stats, for instance, while benchmarking. rohan in mir in sysit on  master [?] is 📦 v0.1.0 via 🦀 v1.49.0 at 19:22:44 ❯ sysit -li 1 M: 20% | C: 33% @ 2100 MHz | T: 60°C | P:2.45 ms M: 20% | C: 5% @ 1100 MHz | T: 56°C | P:3.99 ms M: 20% | C: 4% @ 600 MHz | T: 56°C | P:3.68 ms M: 20% | C: 6% @ 600 MHz | T: 56°C | P:3.71 ms M: 20% | C: 7% @ 600 MHz | T: 56°C | P:3.30 ms M: 20% | C: 7% @ 1900 MHz | T: 57°C | P:3.93 ms M: 20% | C: 3% @ 600 MHz | T: 57°C | P:2.76 ms M: 20% | C: 9% @ 2000 MHz | T: 57°C | P:4.55 ms M: 20% | C: 3% @ 600 MHz | T: 55°C | P:3.86 ms M: 20% | C: 8% @ 1800 MHz | T: 57°C | P:3.34 ms
