System load monitoring tool in Linux system-ttyload

It is known to run on systems such as Linux, IRIX, Solaris, FreeBSD, MacOS X (Darwin), and Isilon OneFS. It's designed to be easily ported to other platforms, but that comes with some hard work.

Some of its noteworthy features are: It uses standard hard-coded ANSI escape sequences for screen display and coloring. It even comes with a relatively independent (not installed by default, not even built) load bomb if you want to check the work situation on a system with little load pressure.

In this article, we will show you how to install and use ttyload in Linux to view the system load average with colorful graphics in the terminal.
