SSH Commands to check disk space usage and memory usage.

Posted on: Nov 18th, 2009


If you have access to you linux server or VPS via SSH, then there is an easy way to check out the disk space usage and memory usage by using some simple linux commands. This eliminates the need of logging into your control panel every time when you need to check out these stats.

All you need is to start your favorite SSH client like “putty”. And then log in to your server. Linux users can easily do it within the terminal.

To check out the disk space usage on your server, execute this command:

df -h

And to see the memory usage:

free -m

That’s it.
