NAME
slmon - program for monitoring system’s performance in realtime.
SYNOPSIS
slmon [options]
DESCRIPTION
SLmon is a tool for monitoring system’s performance. It displays
results using nice and (hopefully) readable text-based UI. Currently
monitored are:
o CPU load (SMP is supported)
o network interfaces
o memory (including swap)
o uptime, date and time
o number of logged in users
o mounted filesystems
o processes
SLmon uses glibtop version >= 2 and libslang version >= 1.2.2 (this
version however has a bug that makes it impossible to write a character
in lower right corner, but otherwise it works okay).
Starting with 0.5.13 Glib library is needed.
OPTIONS
-v, --version
Display version and copying and exit
-h, --help
Display brief usage information
-f, --fs-unit=[kmg]
Specify filesystem usage unit, where: b=bytes, k=kbytes,
m=mbytes, g=gbytes
-m, --mem-unit=[bkmg]
Specify memory usage unit, where: b=bytes, k=kbytes, m=mbytes,
g=gbytes
-n, --net-unit=[bkmg]
Specify network traffic unit, where: b=bytes, k=kbytes,
m=mbytes, g=gbytes
-d, --mode=[mpnh]
Start in mode ’M’ where: m=main, p=process, n=network,
h=histogram
-u, --update=<seconds>
Specify update interval in seconds
Configuration files
SLmon looks for the configuration file in the following locations:
/etc/slmonrc
/usr/local/etc/slmonrc
if the previous one fails
$HOME/.slmonrc
Options can be specified in the form of pairs: <key> = <value>. Lines
beginning with ’#’ are treated as comments (note: all leading
whitespaces are stripped). All subsequent definitions of a certain
option overwrite previous declarations except for the net_dev option.
Available options (more to come :)):
mode Start certain mode: m=main, p=process, n=network, h=histogram.
mem_unit
Specify memory usage unit [bkm].
fs_unit
Specify filesystem usage unit [kmg].
net_unit
Specify network traffic unit [bkmg].
net_dev
Add a network interface to list of monitored interfaces.
update_time
Specify update interval in seconds.
FILES
/etc/slmonrc ~/.slmonrc Files with user defined options
