WHAT IS THIS:
##############

/sys holds alot of information about the system and its current settings and devices. Sometimes you want to read all those values. Here is a nice script that runs through /sys and reads every file. The files that are readonly (ment to be read) are read no problem and saved to /tmp/all-sys-best.txt, and the files that are ment to be written to (they set certain settings) simply cant be read and error out.

I give 3 variations of this command, based on if you want to ignore errors, save em to same file, or to seperate file.

Then monitor with watch (and if no watch then with a while loop), then if its too intense of a monitor there is a less intense watch (no ps command ran and for the watch script its ran less often).

**************************BEING MORE SELECTIVE******************************
WHAT IS THIS?
##############

To not read the whole sys but only to be selective we will add -iwholename to find command

You will take what you want and surround it with *s and engulf it in double parenthesis (or single)

Lets say we need to look for all instances of sdc

-iwholename “*sdc*”

If im looking for raid

-iwholename “*raid*”

All of the examples below will use SEARCHWORD
-iwholename “*SEARCHWORD*”

Note the monitoring commands will stay identical
