Linux from the command line -- Pulling info out of proc with procinfo

Linux from the command line -- Pulling info out of proc with procinfo

Most of the system information you could ever want from your Linux system is ready and waiting for you in the proc folder. Remember, everything is a file in Linux (or at least it was until it was infected with systemd) so you can use simple tools like ls and cat to find and display this info in any way you wish. Throw in grep, sed, awk, and watch and you can create some pretty impressive output of your system's innards. However, for a quick and simple way to get the most commonly used data out, procinfo has you covered.
