What tools are you using to monitor linux system resources? I use Zabbix at work but I don't want to have to setup an entire VM just to monitor 3 VM's.

SAR. How much do you need to monitor?

apparently bash is an acronym for bourne again shell which is a reference to Steve Bourne who wrote the original unix shell program. didn't know that. there are a lot of interesting historical references in this book.

Yup, that's correct. The original Bourne Shell is what we call "shell" or is called sh at the command prompt. And the Korn Shell is not a silly name to rhyme with Bourne, it was actually a guy named Korn by coincidence.

@scottalanmiller What is the difference between a terminal emulator such as
konsoleorgnome-terminaland a virtual terminal process running behind your GUI that you can access with CTRL+ALT+F1-F6? I never use a GUI so I don't have one installed currently. -

I never use a GUI so I don't have one installed currently.One is emulating the VT100 in an application. The other is outputting directly to the screen. In reality, not very much different. Both are accessing a TTY device.
