Overview

Nyx is a command line interface for Tor (https://www.torproject.org/), providing detailed real-time relaying information for...

* bandwidth, cpu, and memory usage
* connection information
* tor configuration
* event logs
* etc

As a curses interface Nyx is particularly well suited for ssh connections, tty terminals, and command-line aficionados to check the status of tor.
