In reply to Henrik Morsing. @Henrik, Yes, you are absolutely correct. nmon is indeed short for Nigel's Monitor and was originally developed by Nigel Griffiths in his personal time. While IBM did later adopt it as an official tool, the primary development and maintenance remained with Nigel Griffiths, who also added Linux support.

“Nmon short for (Ngel’s Monitor), is a fully interactive Linux system performance monitoring command-line utility that was originally developed by IBM for the AIX systems and later ported to the Linux platform.”

That is incorrect. nmon is “Nigel’s Monnitor” (typo?) and was developed by Nigel Griffiths in his personal time. IBM did later accept it as an official tool but it was still solely developed and maintained by Nigel who all added Linux support.

Can we use it on Mac?

Sorry for this noobie question, I just bought a Mac after 22 years of Windows/Linux.
