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
