Shell script to General FreeBSD and Linux System information

in Categories Monitoring last updated February 26, 2009

Shell script to display general FreeBSD and Linux System information such as, Hostname, OS version, Kernel version, Processor/CPU, Total RAM, System load, network interface, total logged in users, Hard disks, Runlevel etc in neat format.

How do I use the script?

You need to download following two files for FreeBSD operating systems:

  1. File # 1 Save this file as /usr/local/etc/bashmonscripts
  2. File # 2 : Save this file as /usr/local/etc/defaults.conf

For Linux system, you need to update /usr/local/etc/defaults.conf to point out exact binary path location. /usr/local/etc/bashmonscripts is nothing but functions library used by this script. bashmonscripts works under both Linux and FreeBSD.
