Inxi 最初是为控制台和 IRC（网络中继聊天）开发的一个强大且优秀的命令行系统信息脚本。可以使用它获取用户的硬件和系统信息，它也用于调试或者社区技术支持工具。

使用 Inxi 可以很容易的获取所有的硬件信息：硬盘、声卡、显卡、网卡、CPU 和 RAM 等。同时也能够获取大量的操作系统信息，比如硬件驱动、Xorg 、桌面环境、内核、GCC 版本，进程，开机时间和内存等信息。

运行在命令行和 IRC 上的 Inxi 输出略有不同，IRC 上会有一些可供用户使用的默认过滤器和颜色选项。支持的 IRC 客户端有：BitchX、Gaim/Pidgin、ircII、Irssi、 Konversation、 Kopete、 KSirc、 KVIrc、 Weechat 和 Xchat 以及其它的一些客户端，它们具有展示内置或外部 Inxi 输出的能力。

在 Linux 系统上安装 Inxi

大多数主流 Linux 发行版的仓库中都有 Inxi ，包括大多数 BSD 系统。

$ sudo apt-get install inxi   [On Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint]
$ sudo yum install inxi       [On CentOs/RHEL/Fedora]
$ sudo dnf install inxi       [On Fedora 22+]

在使用 Inxi 之前，用下面的命令查看 Inxi 所有依赖和推荐的应用，以及各种目录，并显示需要安装哪些包来支持给定的功能。

$ inxi --recommends 

Inxi 的输出：

使用 Inxi 工具监控 Linux 系统

下面是监控 Linux 系统进程、开机时间和内存的几个选项的使用方法。

监控 Linux 进程的内存使用

使用下面的命令查看进程数、开机时间和内存使用情况：

$ inxi -I
Info:      Processes: 232 Uptime: 3:35 Memory: 3256.3/7879.9MB Client: Shell (bash) inxi: 2.2.35 

监控进程占用的 CPU 和内存资源

Inxi 默认显示 前 5 个最消耗 CPU 和内存的进程。 -t 选项和 c 选项一起使用查看前 5 个最消耗 CPU 资源的进程，查看最消耗内存的进程使用 -t 选项和 m 选项； -t选项 和 cm 选项一起使用显示前 5 个最消耗 CPU 和内存资源的进程。

----------------- Linux CPU Usage -----------------
