Linux System Overview<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When it comes to Command Line Interface, we have commands which shows all the system information but there is no single command capable of providing all the information at once. Yeah! We can always write an script to perform all these tasks but it is not feasible for everyone.<\/p>\n There exists a tool \u201cscreenFetch<\/b>\u201d which has all the above said features and more than that.<\/p>\n ScreenFetch<\/b>\u00a0is a System Information Tool designed primarily for Bash Shell but function with other shell environment as well. The tool is smart enough to auto-detect the Linux distribution you are using and generate the ASCII logo of the distribution with certain valuable information to the right of logo. The tool is customizable to the point, you can change colours, set no ASCII and taking screen-shot after displaying information.<\/p>\n A list of valuable System Information screenFetch shows are:<\/p>\n We can get screenFetch either using\u00a0git clone<\/a>\u00a0or by downloading source files directly from the link below. Check the \u2018Download ZIP<\/b>\u2018 link to the right bottom, download the zip file from there and unzip it.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can also grab the package using wget command as shown below.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t need to install the script, just move the the extracted folder under\u00a0\/usr\/bin<\/b>\u00a0and make it executable.<\/p>\n Change the name of\u00a0screenFetch-dev<\/b>\u00a0binary file to\u00a0screenfetch<\/b>, for use with ease.<\/p>\n Now we are going to test \u2018screenfetch<\/b>\u2018 command right from terminal to see the overall information of our system.<\/p>\n Show Linux System Information<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Running screenFetch command using \u2018-v<\/b>\u2018 (Verbose) option, here is the output of the same.<\/p>\n screenFetch Verbose Output<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hide ASCII logo of corresponding Linux Distribution using switch \u2018-n<\/b>\u2018.<\/p>\n Hide ASCII logo Distribution<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Strip all output colour using \u2018-N<\/b>\u2018 option.<\/p>\n Strip All Colours<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Truncate output in terminal, based upon the width of the terminal using switch \u2018-t\u2019.<\/p>\n Truncate screenFetch Output<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Suppress errors in output with \u2018-E<\/b>\u2018 option.<\/p>\n Ignore Errors in Output<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Show current Version \u2018-V<\/b>\u2018.<\/p>\n Show Current screenFetch Version<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Show options and help \u2018-h<\/b>\u2018.<\/p>\n Show screenFetch Options<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It would be a nice prank to use this script such that as soon as an user logs into the shell, the script run and output is displayed.<\/p>\n To perform the such task we must add the line below, as it is to the end of\u00a0~\/.bashrc<\/b>\u00a0file.<\/p>\n After adding, above line, the\u00a0~\/.bashrc<\/b>\u00a0file now looks like.<\/p>\n Show System Information at Login<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Logout and again login to check if it is effective or not. What I got was.<\/p>\n Verify Information after Login<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The\u00a0screenFetch<\/b>\u00a0is a very nice tool which works out of the box, the installation was a cake-walk and it is working without a single glitch even in the latest Debian testing. The current version is\u00a03.5.0<\/b>\u00a0which is still maturing gradually. The system information it shows as soon as an user logs into Bash Shell is glossy. This wonderful tool is worth trying and everyone of you must give it a try. It would be nice if we get the screen-shot of yours\u2019 distribution.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all for now.<\/p>\n![\"Linux](\"https:\/\/www.tecmint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/screenFetch-01.jpeg\")
