here to make you happy : iotop

iotop monitors io processes (input/output) ...

IOTOP(1) IOTOP(1)

NAME
iotop - simple top-like I/O monitor

SYNOPSIS
iotop [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
iotop watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel (requires 2.6.20 or later) and displays a table of
current I/O usage by processes or threads on the system. At least the CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT and CON-
FIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING options need to be enabled in your Linux kernel build configuration, these options depend
on CONFIG_TASKSTATS.

iotop displays columns for the I/O bandwidth read and written by each process/thread during the sampling period.
It also displays the percentage of time the thread/process spent while swapping in and while waiting on I/O. For
each process, its I/O priority (class/level) is shown. In addition, the total I/O bandwidth read and written dur-
ing the sampling period is displayed at the top of the interface.

Use the left and right arrows to change the sorting, r to reverse the sorting order, o to toggle the --only
option, p to toggle the --processes option, a to toggle the --accumulated option, q to quit or i to change the
priority of a thread or a process' thread(s). Any other key will force a refresh.

example:


$ iotop -P -d 5

Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 2.35 K/s
PID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND
10584 be/4 aa 0.00 B/s 126.63 K/s 0.00 % 0.00 % mencoder __http://satbox:keyint=15:mbd=2:aspect=16/9
