Linux server info script

Posted by akamaras on 28/11/2011 Leave a comment (64) Go to comments

Here is a script that will quickly provide you information about your linux server such as cpu model, frequency, number of cores, amount of ram & swap, system uptime and test server download & I/O speed

cpu, ram and system uptime info are taken from “/proc/cpuinfo” , “free” and “uptime” respectively

download speed is measured by downloading a test file from cachefly, while I/O speed is measured by creating a 1GB file from null characters (/dev/zero)

To execute the script, just download and run

wget http://akamaras.com/bench.sh
sh bench.sh

if you’re on debian based distribution you’ll have to execute with bash

wget http://akamaras.com/bench.sh
bash bench.sh

Here is a sample of the output

CPU model : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
Number of cores : 8
CPU frequency : 3066.772 MHz
Total amount of ram : 112 MB
Total amount of swap : 255 MB
System uptime : 33 days, 17:57,
Download speed : (8.33MB/s)
I/O speed : 167MB/s

NOTE: it will take a while for the script to print the results

feel free to share your results in the comments 🙂

I ran this but the CPU model and CPU frequency aren’t matching.

Is this because of speed stepping? or is my VPS provider cheating in giving multiple cores at lower clocks?

  this could be both. Try running something cpu hungry, such as unixbench. While it is running, leave another console open running
```
watch --interval=1 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz'
```
  if the MHz are getting up&down it’s speedstep

can you add different locations for download speed test?

Reply
- akamaras 23/06/2012 at 14:41
  
  Yes, it can be done.
  But I can’t see the purpose of it.
  The cachefly test file is being downloaded to show you the port speed and it might give you an estimate of the networks performance.
  Cachefly is chosen over other datacenters test files because it doesn’t have a location, it has a global network
  
  I don’t think anybody buys a server to download files. What might be useful in my opinion, is to have ping times to many locations. If you’re interested in something like this, let me know.

You know, you can search for regex using awk, there is no reason to pipe grep to awk. Just do something like awk ‘$0 ~ /name/ { $1=$2=$3″”; print }’
