Monitor on iPhone and iPad
See what a Linux or Mac server is doing: its CPU, memory, disks and busiest processes. You can also stop a process.
Steps
- Open the server in Servers. Under Open, its row shows its CPU, Memory and Disk.
- Tap the row. Or, in Files, tap More ▸ Monitor.
- Read the figures.
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| CPU, Memory, Disk | How much is in use, as rings. Orange from 80 %, red from 90 %. |
| Under the rings | The server’s system, how long it has run, and its load. |
| CPU | A chart of the CPU while you look at this screen, up to 15 minutes. |
| Busiest processes | The 10 busiest processes, with their CPU and memory. |
| Disks | The free space on each disk, when the server has more than one. |
Stop a process
- Type its name, user, command or PID in the search field to find it.
- Swipe left on it and tap Kill (asks it to quit). Or touch and hold it and tap Force Kill (stops it at once).
- AirSCP asks first. Tap Kill (or Force Kill) again.
Tips
- AirSCP reads the server every 3 seconds, but only while this screen shows and AirSCP is on screen: iOS doesn’t let it read servers in the background.
- Your account may stop only its own processes. For another user’s, AirSCP gives you the
sudo killcommand to type in the terminal. - The monitor works on Linux and Mac servers. Other servers, accounts that allow file transfers (sftp) only, and S3 storage have none.
