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.

       The   modules   that   are   available   for   procmeter3-lcd   are   described   in   the
