.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B 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:
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 4
|
|
a realtime CPU stress meter;
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
an auto-scaled average system load meter, like
|
|
.B xload
|
|
and
|
|
.BR wmavgload ;
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
a realtime disk I/O stress meter;
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
auto-scaled disk I/O load meter;
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
realtime memory and swap usage meters;
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
a display for system uptime;
|
|
.IP \(bu

.SH USAGE
|
|
The
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.B CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
below.)
|
|
|
|
In order to move
|
|
.BR WMMon ,
|
|
drag on the outer edges. These are not sensitive to mouse clicks.

.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
|
|
|
|
.B WMMon
|
|
can launch three user-defined commands, triggered by left, middle and
|

right mouse button clicks. You can define the commands to launch in

If
|
|
.B WMMon
|
|
detects a
|
|
.I $HOME/.wmmonrc
|
|
file, it will launch the appropriate command when you click on the clock.
|
|
|
|
The system administrator can define default commands in
|
|
.IR /etc/wmmonrc .
|
|
The administrator may also choose to \*(lqfix\*(rq particular commands,
|
|
making it impossible for users to change. These commands can be defined in
|
|
.IR /etc/wmmonrc.fixed ,
|
|
although this isn't a nice thing to do.
