tmmon

tmmon is a name used by several independent software projects, typically small command-line tools designed to monitor system metrics or track time-based events in Unix-like environments. There is no single canonical project under this name, and implementation details vary between versions and authors.

In general, tmmon utilities aim to provide lightweight, real-time information through a text-based interface. Common features include updating dashboards at a configurable interval, summarizing CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, and offering simple alerting or integration with terminal multiplexers such as tmux. Some versions emphasize minimal resource usage and others provide basic extensibility through configuration files or plugins.

Because tmmon refers to multiple projects, exact functionality depends on the specific release. Typical characteristics may include a small footprint, straightforward configuration, and the ability to run as a standalone program or as part of startup routines. Interfaces are often designed for compatibility with common Unix tools, making it easy to incorporate tmmon output into scripts or status bars.

Development and licensing vary by project. Maintainers are usually independent volunteers, and releases may be hosted in public repositories or packaged by Linux distributions. The absence of a single governing project means users should verify features, compatibility, and licensing for the specific tmmon version they intend to use.
