linux-like system monitors?

[paracord]

Anything like this for OS X

By this I mean the cpu and ethernet gauges to the left.

I think this is sort of what you seek, though it is much simpler than the app in your screenshot. I am at work on a PeeCee and can't check to be sure at the moment:

The linux app in your screenshot looks very cool. OS X could use something like that, imho.

rather small, each slider represents a different system resource, you can change the color of the slider ...

just go to versiontracker.com and search for "Monitor" in the OS X section. You'll get 4 pages of crap that monitors stuff.

Well i found a few, the others that had multiple graphs and stuff just took up too much CPU%
The top one is Load Monitor and the other is Net Monitor, thank's for the versiontracker advice guys.

I'd love to see gkrellm for OSX.

Yeah that looks nice.

Now, I used to run a CPU monitor...... and then I started wondering... how many CPU cycles are being taken by the Monitoring software, itself? Afterall, when I type "top" in the terminal, "top", itself, uses 8.8% of the CPU time.

btw, I DO use "Net Monitor" when I'm on a modem...

I don't really need to see it update so often, so I use "top -s 5" (which sets it to update every 5 seconds), it brings it down to about 2%.

Huh. Wow. There's a big difference. Thanks for the tip.
