NAME

       wmppp - Graphically monitor the average PPP load

SYNOPSIS

       wmppp [-display <display name>] [-t] [-u <update rate>] [-i <device>] [-h] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       wmppp.app  displays  a  dynamic  representation  of  the  load  on the PPP line on a 64x64
       miniwindow. It also starts and stops the connection and displays the time  enlapsed  since
       the it came up. The traffic on the interface is also monitored.

OPTIONS

       -display <display name>
              name of display to use

       -t     sets the on-line timer to display MM:SS instead of the default HH:MM.

       -u <update rate>
              sets  the  frequency, in seconds, for updates to the display.  Valid range is 1-10,
              default value is 5.

       -i <device>
              choose the net device (ppp1, ippp0, etc.) to monitor.  (Note that this  feature  is
              EXPERIMENTAL and should be used with caution.  Bug reports are welcomed.)

       -h     displays a command line summary

       -v     displays the version number.

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  file (see below) may contain any of the following key-value pairs. The
       format is key: value.

       start  The program that starts the connection

       stop   The program that stops the connection

       speed  This program reports the speed  of  the  connection.  This  program  should  output
              <speed>, that is, a number is expected and not the whole

       ifdown This  program  is  run if the line goes down, and the stop program hasn't been run.
              (Redial program)

       stampfile
              The modification time of this file is used to calculate  the  amount  of  time  the
              connection  has been up. Something like touch <stampfile> should be run for this to
              work.

FILES

       /var/run/wmppp.ppp0
              this is the stamp file use to determine the ammount  of  time  enlapsed  since  the
              connection  came  up. This file should be managed by the ip-up and ip-down scripts.
              On Debian systems, /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00wmppp  creates  the  file,  and  /etc/ppp/ip-
              down.d/00wmppp removes it.

       /etc/wmppprc
              System wide defaults

       $HOME/.wmppprc
              User defined settings

       /etc/wmppprc.fixed
              System wide fixed options, this overrides the user settings
