Occasionally, I need to check resources on several machines throughout our data-centers for consolidation recommendations and the like. I prefer htop, mostly because of the interactive feel and the display. Is there a way to default some settings to my setup for htop? For example, one thing I'd like to always have shown is the average CPU load.important note: Setting this on specific boxes isn't something feasible - I'm looking for maybe a way to set this dynamically every time I ssh into the box.Is this possible at all?
How can I set default settings for htop?
ssh;display settings;htop
htop has a setup screen, accessed via F2, that allows you to customize the top part of the display, including adding or removing a Load average field and setting it's style (text, bar, etc.).These seem to be auto saved in $HOME/.config/htop/htoprc, which warns:  # Beware! This file is rewritten by htop when settings are changed in the interface.# The parser is also very primitive, and not human-friendly.I.e., edit that at your own risk.  However, you should be able to transfer it from one system to another (version differences might occasionally cause a bit of an issue).  You could also set up a configuration, quit, and then copy the file, so that you could maintain a set of different configurations by swapping/symlinking whichever  one with htoprc.
