The command "glances -w" is used to run the Glances system monitoring tool in the web server mode.

Glances is a free, cross-platform, and open-source command-line monitoring tool that provides system information about CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, network statistics, and more. It allows users to monitor the performance and health of their systems in real-time.

By running the command "glances -w", Glances starts in web server mode, which means it provides a web-based interface for monitoring and accessing system information. Instead of displaying the data directly in the console, Glances starts a web server on a specific port (usually port 61208) and opens the system monitoring interface in a web browser.

Once the web server is running, you can visit the specified IP address or hostname on the configured port (e.g., http://localhost:61208) to access the Glances monitoring interface. From there, you can navigate through different sections to view detailed information about system resources, processes, sensors, and more.
