Description

The script utilizes several Linux commands to fetch and calculate system metrics, providing a snapshot of the system's current state.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, ensure you have bc installed. If you're using Debian or a Debian-based distribution (like Ubuntu), you can install it with:

sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install bc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installation

Clone the repository:

 git clone https://github.com/ciscoAnass/SysInfo.git
 cd SysInfo
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Make the script executable:

chmod +x SysInfo.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Running the Script on Every Terminal Launch (Optional)

  • If you want the script to run every time you open a terminal session, you can append the script path to ~/.bashrc using the following command:
echo "~/SysInfo/SysInfo.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • This command appends the path to your script to the end of ~/.bashrc.

  • After appending, source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes:

source ~/.bashrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Now, the script will run automatically every time you open a new terminal session.

Creating a Command Alias

  • If you want to create a command alias so you can execute the script by simply typing sysinfo, follow these steps:
echo "alias sysinfo='~/SysInfo/SysInfo.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

-Source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes:*

source ~/.bashrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now, you can simply type sysinfo in your terminal to run the script.

Example Output

After running the script, you will see output similar to:
