System Information on terminal

  • 772

This might come across as a silly question but is there any shell that will allow me to get the system information as the shell is active? What I mean is a shell like bash or similar that will show me the current cpu,memory, io and network usage at the top or anywhere but being parallel to the console. Something like:

---------------------------------
| CPU:3% I/O:4% Mem free: 1.5GB |
=================================
|                               |
|                               |
|                               |
| user@server ~ $: ls           |
| folder1 folder2 some_file1    |
| user@server ~ $:_             |
---------------------------------

I'm looking for something that is console only so that I can get its statistics from say an ssh session.

    Have a look at byobu - its customizable to your needs and also comes with a good default configuration.
