    About Forum Howtos & FAQs Low graphics Shell Scripts RSS/Feed nixcraft - insight into linux admin work 20 Linux System Monitoring Tools Every SysAdmin Should Know by nixCraft on June 27, 2009 · 315 comments · Last updated November 6, 2012 Need to monitor Linux server performance? Try these built-in commands and a few add-on tools. Most Linux distributions are equipped with tons of monitoring. These tools provide metrics which can be used to get information about system activities. You can use these tools to find the possible causes of a performance problem. The commands discussed below are some of the most basic commands when it comes to system analysis and debugging server issues such as: 1. Finding out bottlenecks. 2. Disk (storage) bottlenecks. 3. CPU and memory bottlenecks. 4. Network bottlenecks. #1: top - Process Activity Command The top program provides a dynamic real-time view of a running system i.e. actual process activity. By default, it displays the most CPU-intensive tasks running on the server and updates the list every five seconds. Fig.01: Linux top command Commonly Used Hot Keys The top command provides several useful hot keys: Hot Usage Key t Displays summary information off and on. m Displays memory information off and on. Sorts the display by top consumers of various system resources. Useful for quick identification of performance- A hungry tasks on a system. f Enters an interactive configuration screen for top. Helpful for setting up top for a specific task. o Enables you to interactively select the ordering within top. r Issues renice command.

A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8 Answer: C Explanation: SCSI-1 support total 7 peripherals. There are several different types of SCSI devices. The original SCSI specification is commonly referred to as SCSI-1. The newer specification, SCSI-2, offers increased speed and performance, as well as new commands. Fast SCSI increases throughput to more than 10MB per second. Fast-Wide SCSI provides a wider data path and throughput of up to 40MB per second and up to 15 devices. There there are Ultra-SCSI and Ultra-Wide-SCSI QUESTION NO: 3 You need to install a fax server.

  • Lab 09: Operating System Basics
    ESE 150 – Lab 09: Operating System Basics LAB 09 Today’s Lab has the following objectives: 1. Learn how to remotely log into Eniac Linux server 2. Learn some of the basics of process management on the Linux Operating System This lab will take place in Ketterer (Moore 200). Background: OPERATING SYSTEMS We learned in lecture that a CPU can really only execute one task or instruction (like ADD or SUBTRACT, etc) at a time. The Operating System is a program that runs on a CPU with the job of managing the CPU’s time. It schedules programs that user’s would like run for time on the CPU, essentially its main job is to keep the CPU busy. Another aspect of the OS is to protect access to the hardware that surrounds the CPU (like input and output devices – keyboards, mice, etc.) so that programs don’t have direct access to the hardware, but instead ask the OS for permission to access it. This also lends itself to “virtualizing” the CPU and its hardware so that each program that runs on the CPU believes it is the only program running on the CPU at any given time. Before the personal computer existed, before Mac OS and Windows came into being, an operating system named UNIX was written to manage large computers at AT&T Bell Laboratories in the 1970s that became a model for modern operating systems (like Windows, and Mac OSX). In the 1990’s an operating system named Linux was invented modeled very heavily on the UNIX operating system.
