Linux-Info

API in Perl to recover information about the running Linux OS

WARNING

The version 2.0 and beyond brakes compatibility with the Linux::Info::DiskStats module in previous versions.

Be sure to read the related documentation to avoid issues when upgrading.

DESCRIPTION

Linux::Info is a fork from Sys::Statistics::Linux distribution.

Linux::Info is a front-end module to gather different linux system information like processor workload, memory usage, network and disk statistics and a lot more. Refer the documentation of the distribution modules to get more information about all possible statistics.

By obvious reasons, this distribution will run only at Linux O.S.

MOTIVATION

Sys::Statistics::Linux is a great distribution (and I used it a lot), but it was built to recover only Linux statistics when I was also looking for other additional information about the OS.

Linux::Info will provide additional information not available in Sys::Statistics::Linux, as general processor information and hopefully apply patches and suggestions not implemented in the original project.

Sys::Statistics::Linux is also more forgiving regarding compatibility with older perls interpreters, modules version that it depends on and even older OS. If you find that Linux::Info is not available to your old system, you should try it.

What is different from Sys::Statistics::Linux?

Linux::Info has:

INSTALL

To install this module, unpack the downloaded tarball and execute the following commands in the created directory:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

Linux::Info is also available on CPAN, so you can also download and install automatically this distribution, dependencies included, by using the CPAN shell (or CPAN Minus or whatever you prefer).

If you prefer to use it directly from the Github repository, you can also use the cpanfile included to take care of the dependencies without installing Dist::Zilla (see cpanm --installdeps).
