glances is nice if you want to get an overview of your system resources: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances https://github.com/nicolargo/glances bmon and iftop can be used to see network usage: https://github.com/tgraf/bmon/ https://github.com/tgraf/bmon/ http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/ http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/ Similar to iftop there is also iotop, but instead of showing network usage, it shows disk usage: http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/ http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/ Side note: There was a blog a couple years ago, which isn't being updated now, that would post reviews of CLI tools.
