Those are some awesome tools! Thanks for sharing. I have actually never used any of them. Most of my Linux servers are for a specific purpose and I kind of just set it and forget it. I can totally see how these would be useful though. I might even install one or two of them on my next build!

good stuff, pretty much using the same packages expect pm2. Using supervisord for that. It's Python so I'm biased.

That's a very nice list, but the fact that PM2 depends on NodeJS can make it unsuitable in some situations. I think basic system utilities should be written in C or shell and preferably have no dependencies.

Ideally, that would be great, but it has never posed a problem.

Quite a great linux toolbox for anyone running servers and monitoring how they are doing. Also I think you could add some debug tools or options that might be used when something goes wrong like an application being unresponsive or something similar.

I am going to have to try tmux. I though screen was the bees knees when I discovered it. It looks like tmux is screen’s more modern brother!!!

Thanks for the tip!

It is a more modern version of screen. Only thing screen really does better is built-in logging.

pm2 is great except for when it's trying to startup everything at once and everything is failing...I experienced this when all the Steem RPC nodes were down during the HF.

That is a very rare occurrence and there are workarounds. Most all solutions would have issues then as well.

very nice, some lib package or lsb?

Htop an essential for me too. I don't run any servers, but I need to get some Pis working for me.

And your favourite text editor is?

I use vim, VS Code, and Sublime Text.

I would add a Partition Manager – Gparted. This free tool will help you partitioning the disk via it's friendly Gui

I almost never need to partition disks afterwards on servers. But I use that when I need to as well.

OMG! All of that went way over my head! I do feel better knowing that this man IS the Linux programmer that I may one day need...

I actually don't understand most of this post. Highly technical.! Seems I have a lot to learn.

That's cool.
