I prefer glances over top or htop now. It gives a nice view of everything the system is doing, including I/O. Or course it uses more CPU to run than top or htop, but the extra load is worth having everything you need to look on in one screen imo.

Trying it out now. I just started to get familiar with htop.

I use htop, but usually end up using
ps auxand then grepping what process I want to check. -

That sucks. It looks like a nice interface for a few seconds before it starts erroring out really bad.

I have maybe 50+ linux boxes I access on a monthly basis and all of them have
glancesinstalled and I have never seen that. -
I've never seen that either, even when installing it on old AF linux boxes.
