      That is not a favorite, I try to avoid rebooting my systems if they don't absolutely need it.

      that's a bad practice. Weekly or monthly are the only two cycles I'd consider. If you haven't rebooted recently, you don't know that it is coming back after a disaster.

      Uptimes of longer than 30 days should be an alert, something to worry about.

          "sudo !!", "tail -f", the unholy trinity that is "grep/awk/sed", and vim (all from within tmux).

              Ya it's nice, ctrl+a, ctrl+e, and ctrl+d are nice too so you can stay at "home" on the keyboard.

                I don't use awk as much as I should, I essentially use it for a glorified csv reader haha

                      Hardware commands are always great:

                      lspci

                      Anything in /proc

                      I LOVE LOVE LOVE htop

                        I honestly don't like htop very much. I prefer regular top. I find the output more useful.

                          htop works much better to see multi-CPU utilization though. Filtering is really nice too.

                            Ah, I never find CPU utilization to be something that I need to watch. Looks neat and impressive on the screen, but once I know the percentage of CPU, I don't care about seeing a chart, but I need to see load numbers, processes and memory stats.
