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.

       -b     Include buffers and cache in memory usage calculations. The trend in  recent  years
              has  been  to  not  include  this  in  memory  load  monitors, but it can be useful
              information.

       -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.

FILES

       /etc/wmmonrc
       $HOME/.wmmonrc
