Synchronet monitoring methods and utilities.
It can often be helpful to monitor Synchronet's TCP/IP socket and thread utilization. On Unix-like operating systems, you can do this by combining the use of included tools like watch, netstat, grep, pidof, and top.
$ watch 'netstat -nap | grep /sbbs'
$ top -o -COMMAND -H -p "$(pidof sbbs)"
$ htop -p "$(pidof sbbs)"
To include the Synchronet thread names in the htop output, make sure the “Show custom thread names” Setup option is enabled:
Setup Display options
Meters [x] Tree view
Display options [ ] Shadow other users' processes
Colors [x] Hide kernel threads
Columns [x] Hide userland threads
[ ] Display threads in a different color
[x] Show custom thread names
[ ] Highlight program "basename"
[x] Highlight large numbers in memory counters
[x] Leave a margin around header
[ ] Detailed CPU time (System/IO-Wait/Hard-IRQ/Soft-IRQ/Steal/Guest)
[ ] Count CPUs from 0 instead of 1
[x] Update process names on every refresh
On Windows, you can monitor Synchronet's TCP/IP socket and thread utilization using the Task Manager (Windows) and utilities like Process Explorer, pslist and TCPView.
Windows comes with a version of netstat as well.
