NAME
wmmon - Window Maker dockapp for monitoring system information
SYNOPSIS
wmmon [ OPTION ]
DESCRIPTION
WMMon monitors the realtime CPU load as well as the average system
load, and gives you some nice additional features too. It is intended
for docking in Window Maker.
It currently provides:
· a realtime CPU stress meter;
· an auto-scaled average system load meter, like xload and wmavgload;
· a realtime disk I/O stress meter;
· auto-scaled disk I/O load meter;
· realtime memory and swap usage meters;
· a display for system uptime;
· three user-defined commands to launch.
OPTIONS
-display display
This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7x).
-geometry geometry
This option specifies the preferred position of clock; see
X(7x).
-l Lock the mode, so that it cannot be cycled by clicking on the
upper-left widget. You can use this to open multiple copies of
WMMon, each set to a different mode.
-i Start in disk I/O mode, which displays instantaneous disk usage
and average disk load.
-s Start in system information mode, which displays memory usage,
swap usage, and uptime.
-h Show help information.
-v Print the version number.
USAGE
The WMMon display can be cycled between CPU, disk I/O, and system
information displays by clicking on the upper-left widget. This
displays CPU information by default.
WMMon can also be used to launch programs. You may click either left,
middle, or right mouse buttons in the average-load section of the
window. The pre-configured program will be launched according to the
mouse button clicked. (see CONFIGURATION FILE below.)
In order to move WMMon, drag on the outer edges. These are not
sensitive to mouse clicks.
DOCKING IN WINDOW MANAGERS
Window Maker
Window Maker users should drag and drop the WMMon window on the
Dock. Then, right-click on the border of the window and select
“Settings...”. Check “Start when Window Maker is started”.
AfterStep
AfterStep users should put the following in their $HOME/.steprc
Wharf wmmon - MaxSwallow "wmmon" wmmon &
Other window managers
WMMon runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop.
CONFIGURATION FILE
WMMon can launch three user-defined commands, triggered by left, middle
and right mouse button clicks. You can define the commands to launch
in $HOME/.wmmonrc
left: xterm
middle: xload
right: xcalc
If WMMon detects a $HOME/.wmmonrc file, it will launch the appropriate
command when you click on the clock.
The system administrator can define default commands in /etc/wmmonrc.
The administrator may also choose to “fix” particular commands, making
it impossible for users to change. These commands can be defined in
/etc/wmmonrc.fixed, although this isn’t a nice thing to do.
