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

       /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  white-
       spaces  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
