        I honestly don't like htop very much. I prefer regular top. I find the output more useful.

          htop works much better to see multi-CPU utilization though. Filtering is really nice too.

            Ah, I never find CPU utilization to be something that I need to watch. Looks neat and impressive on the screen, but once I know the percentage of CPU, I don't care about seeing a chart, but I need to see load numbers, processes and memory stats.

                              List disk info (Lowercase L)

                              fdisk -l
                              

                              List hard drive model, serial and capabilities:

                              hdparm -I /dev/sda
                              

                              Hard drive speed:

                              hdparm -t /dev/sdd
                              

                              Hard drive temperature:

                              What software a web server is running:

                              Kernel buffer messages:

                              dmesg
                              

                              File transfer with active speed:

                              rsync --progress --recursive source/* destincation
                              

                              Ping sweep a network with NMAP and just show up IP's:

                              sudo nmap -PO -sP -PE -n --open -v 10.1.1.1-10 | grep "scan report" | grep -v "host down" | sed 's/Nmap scan report for //g'
                              

                              Only show down/available IP's:

                              sudo nmap -PO -sP -PE -n --open -v 10.1.1.1-10 | grep "host down" | sed 's/Nmap scan report for //g' | sed 's/ [host down]//g'
                              

                              Ping a TCP port:

                              nping --tcp -p 80,443 www.newegg.com
                              

                              Stress test packets per second with ICMP (5,000 pings sent at rate of 100k per second):

                              nping --icmp 10.1.1.1 --rate 100000 -c 5000
                              

                              QoS EF ping:

                              ping -Q 0xB8 10.1.1.1
                              

                              Packet capture (CTRL + C when done):

                              sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w testing.pcap
                              

                              View a packet capture for ICMP:

                              tcpdump -r testing.pcap -nnvvvSe | grep ICMP
                              

                              That's about all I got right now.

                                          Only the people here will understand how many times I've typed ifconfig instead of ipconfig, or ipconfig instead of ifconfig. So annoying (yes, I annoy myself.)

                                            Muscle memory has me stuck on

                                            ifconfig
                                            

                                            Only the people here will understand how many times I've typed ifconfig instead of ipconfig, or ipconfig instead of ifconfig. So annoying (yes, I annoy myself.)

                                            Annoying yourself is fine. Arguing with yourself is fine... But if you start to hear voices arguing back... Then you should worry.

                                            However, I do feel your pain.
