https://yalneb.blogspot.com/2019/04/bash-terminal-greeter.html

Wouldn't it be nice that every time you open up a terminal (or log in remotely), you would be greeted by a general overview of your system's health? Well, with this tool you can address this very problem.

This is a simple bash script that displays on top of new terminals a simple summary of your system's specs (useful if its a remote machine you just logged in) and a summary of your systems current load.

Such as a report of CPU hungry processor an error report if a systemctl service has failed to load.

If you identify your self with this, then call 555-get-me-tmux and order now! (or better yet, continue reading)
