some utilities you can use are vmstat, iostat, sar

Other commands:

'top' - Very useful for a dynamic look at running tasks and system info
'netstat' - Network statistics
'mpstat' - cpu stats

As per your post it seems to be that you want to check server status frequently due load o server if yes then follow the following command from shell

1) vmstat -n 5

Its very helpful for printing a running status display in a tabular format.

2) watch --interval=5 "ps aux | grep zombie | grep -v xaprb"

watch isn’t really a load-monitoring tool, but it’s beastly handy because it takes any command as input and monitors the result of running that command. For example, if I wanted to monitor when the “zombie ” program is executing, I could run

3) route -v

The route lists the routing tables for your server

and as mtrainaky following commands also very useful

'top' - Very useful for a dynamic look at running tasks and system info
'netstat' - Network statistics
'mpstat' - cpu stats


I hope it will help you
