Glances is a free (LGPL) cross-platform  curses-based  monitoring  tool
which  aims  to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space,
ideally to fit in a classical 80x24 terminal or higher  to  have  addi-
tionnal information.

Glances  can  adapt  dynamically the displayed information depending on
the terminal size. It can also work in a client/server mode for  remote
monitoring.

This tool is written in Python and uses the psutil library to fetch the
statistical values from key elements, like CPU, load  average,  memory,
network, disks, file systems, processes, etc.

Optional dependencies are Jinja2 (for HTML output), hddtemp (for HHD
temperature monitoring support) and python3.
Others not available on SBo are pysensors (for HW monitoring support)
and batinfo (for battery monitoring support).
