NAME
procmeter3-lcd - A system monitoring program with LCDproc display.
SYNOPSIS
procmeter3-lcd [-h|--help] [--rc=<filename>] [--...] [...]
DESCRIPTION
ProcMeter Displays one or more pieces of information about the
operating system and other resources. Most of the information that is
displayed comes from the /proc filesystem. The program is modular and
very configurable.
OPTIONS
The command line options are described below.
-h Provides a help message listing the available outputs. This
will be different for different computers depending on the Linux
kernel version that is being used and the hardware/software that
is configured.
--rc=<filename>
Load the specified .procmeterrc file in stead of the searching
in the usual places.
--... A list of configuration file options that will override the
values in the .procmeterrc file. The format of these options is
(for example) --LCD.host=localhost which is equivalent to the
entry in the .procmeterrc file of
[LCD]
host = localhost
All spaces around the equal sign must be removed and if spaces
are required in the value on the right hand side then quotes
must be used around the entire command line option.
... A list of names of outputs that are to be displayed. This can
include any of the outputs that are available (see the -h
option). For the CPU usage is in a module named Statistics with
an output named CPU and there are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar
(-b) options. To display the CPU usage graph you would use the
command line option Statistics.CPU-g
USAGE
When started the program will display on an attached LCD display using
the LCDd daemon program (from http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net). The
outputs that are displayed are those from the command line and those
from the .procmeterrc configuration file.
