The command "glances -s" is used to run the Glances system monitoring tool with a specific sorting option.
Glances is a popular open-source command-line based system monitoring tool that provides real-time information about various aspects of a system's performance, including CPU usage, memory usage, network activity, disk space, and more.
The "-s" option in the command is used to specify the sorting order for the displayed information. By default, Glances displays data sorted by CPU usage. However, using the "-s" option allows you to choose a different sorting parameter. For example, you can sort by memory usage, disk I/O, network I/O, or any other available metric.
To use the command, simply open a terminal or command prompt and enter "glances -s" followed by the desired sorting parameter. For example, "glances -s mem" will display the information sorted by memory usage. You can refer to the Glances documentation or help section to find out all available sorting options.
