xosview - X based system monitor
xosview [options]
Contents |
DESCRIPTION
xosview is a monitor which displays the status of several system based parameters. These include CPU usage, load
average, memory usage, swap space usage, network usage, interrupts, and serial port status. Each of these is
displayed as a horizontal bar which is separated into color coded regions. Each region represents a percentage
of the resource which is being put to a particular use. Typing a 'q' in the window will terminate xosview.
At the moment xosview runs on seven platforms (Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, some Solaris systems, IRIX 6.5
and HPUX). Not all of the meters described below are supported on all platforms. Some of the meters may appear
different depending upon the platform xosview is running on. Note that *BSD is used as an abbreviation for all
three of the free BSD operating systems (NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD).

OPTIONS
Most of these command line options are just a convenient way to set one or more of xosview's resources. Please
see the RESOURCES section for more details on what the resource is for.
-v
Displays the version number.

from expanding �*� or from creating two separate arguments, �xosview*memfreeColor:� and �purple�):
-xrm "xosview*memFreeColor: purple"
X RESOURCES
The following is a list of X resources supported by xosview. Each has a default value assigned to it. These
values can be found in the file Xdefaults which can be obtained in the source distribution of xosview. They can
be overridden in the usual places (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).
It should be noted that it is OK to have a resource defined for a port of xosview that does not support the fea-
ture the resource configures. Xosview will simply ignore the resources that are set for it but not supported on
a given platform.
General Resources
xosview*title: name
The string that xosview will use for the X window title. Normally xosview will use 'xosview@machine_name'
for a title. This resource overrides the default behavior.
xosview*geometry: geometry_string
This is a standard X geometry string that defines the size and location of the X window used by xosview.
xosview*display: name
The name of the display where xosview will contact the X server for drawing its window.
xosview*pixmapName: name
The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a background image.
xosview*captions: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter captions.
xosview*labels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter labels.
xosview*meterLabelColor: color
The color to use for the meter labels.
xosview*usedlabels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display labels that show the percentage of the resource (or absolute amount,
depending on the meter) being used. This option requires that the labels option also be set to True.
xosview*usedLabelColor: color
The color to use for "used" labels.
xosview*borderwidth: width
The width of the border for the xosview window.
xosview*font: font
This is the font that xosview will use.
xosview*background: color
This is the color that will be used for the background.
xosview*foreground: color
This is the color that will be used for the foreground.
xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
Change to true to try stipple support. This is primarily for users stuck with 1-bit monitors/display
cards. Try setting enableStipple true. Please give us feedback on this, if you use it. It needs some
more work, but no one has given us any feedback so far.
xosview*graphNumCols: number
This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a meter is in scrolling graph mode. This also has the
side-effect of defining the width of the graph columns. This is only used by meters which have graph mode
enabled.
Load Meter Resources
xosview*load: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a load meter.
xosview*loadWarnColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use once the load average is greater than 1.
xosview*loadProcColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use to display the load average when it is less than or equal
to 1.
xosview*loadIdleColor: color
The load meter will use this color to display the idle field.
xosview*loadPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the load meter
waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest). A
value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at which the loadmeter changes its status and
color from "normal" to "alarm". The default value is 2.
xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)
You should probably leave this at the default value (False). The load is already a time-averaged value!
xosview*loadGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the load meter will be drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the
state value verses time.
xosview*loadUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the total.

between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest). A value of
600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*cpuDecay: (True or False)
If True then the cpu meter will be split vertically in two. The top half will show the instantaneous
state, while the bottom half will display a decaying average of the state.
xosview*cpuGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the cpu meter will be drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the
state value verses time.
xosview*cpuUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)

IRIX only.
If single, only a cumulative meter for all CPU is created. All creates a meter for each CPU, but no cumu-
lative meter. Both creates one cumulative meter and one per cpu. auto behaves like single on uniprocessor
system, and like both on multiprocessor systems.

some ip accounting rules to make this work. See the file README.linux which comes with the xosview dis-
tribution for details.
xosview*netBandwidth: maxBytes
This number is used to specify the expected maximum bandwidth (in bytes / sec) for the meter. When the

Serial Meter Resources
xosview*serial(0-9): (True, False, or portBase)
If True then xosview will display a serial meter for ttySx. The portbase will be autodetected.
Because autodetection can fail, (if the port is locked by ppp/slip for example) you can specify the
portbase instead of "True". If a portBase is used then xosview will use it instead of trying to
autodetect.
For this to work on Linux xosview needs to be suid root in order to have access to the ports. See
the file README.linux which comes with the xosview distribution for more details.
xosview*serialOnColor: color
This is the color the serial meter will use for bits that are set.
xosview*serialOffColor: color
This is the color the serial meter will use for bits that are not set.
xosview*serialPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the serial
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
Interrupt Meter Resources

This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the int
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
Lm Sensors Temperature Resources
xosview*lmstemp: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a lmstemp meter.

xosview*lmstempIdleColor: color
Color between actual and alarm temperatures.
xosview*lmstempN: filename
Name of temperature file from /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*/*, N=1..
Note if more files with same name exists, only the first is found. There is currently no possiblity
to configure equal named files on different busses (which would be rarely necessary, I hope).
eg.
xosview*lmstemp1: temp xosview*lmstemp2: remote_temp
xosview*lmstempLabelN: Labelstring
N-th label for above temperatures, default is TMP.
xosview*lmstempPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the lmstemp
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*lmstempUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:

autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Battery Meter Resources
xosview*battery: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a battery meter. Linux users will need to have APM or ACPI sup-
port in their kernels for this to work. For both, APM and ACPI xosview shows the status/sum of all
batteries. Additionally - the legend text gets changed/adjusted to reflect the current state
(charging/low/critical/etc.) of the battery/batteries.
xosview*batteryLeftColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show the amount of battery power left.
xosview*batteryUsedColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show the amount of battery power used.
xosview*batteryChargeColor: color
This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries get charged.
xosview*batteryFullColor: color
This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries are fully charged. APM and ACPI
does provide this info, but not all machines actually do so.
xosview*batteryLowColor: color
APM only - the 'left' color that will indicate a low battery. Depends on the machine - e.g. below
25% remaining capacity.
xosview*batteryCritColor: color
APM case: the 'left' color if APM indicates 'critical' state. (less than 5%)
ACPI case: the 'left' color if the remaining capacity is below the alarm value. (which can be set
by the user in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT[01]/alarm )
xosview*batteryNoneColor: color
If no battery is present - or all batteries get removed (while on AC).
xosview*batteryPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the battery
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*batteryUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Disk Meter Resources
xosview*disk: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a disk meter.
xosview*diskUsedColor: color
The disk meter will use this color to display the bytes transferred (in or out) field.
xosview*diskIdleColor: color
The disk meter will use this color to display the idle field.
xosview*diskBandwidth: bandwidth
This number is used to specify the expected maximum bandwidth in bytes per second for the disk
meter.
xosview*diskWriteColor: color
This color will be used for the linux meter to show writes.
xosview*diskReadColor: color
This color will be used for the linux meter to show reads.
xosview*diskPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the disk
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*diskDecay: (True or False)
If True then the disk meter will be split vertically in two. The top half will show the instanta-
neous state, while the bottom half will display a decaying average of the state.
xosview*diskGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the disk meter will be drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph show-
ing the state value verses time.
xosview*diskUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
RAID Meter Resources
xosview*RAID: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a RAID meter.
xosview*RAIDdevicecount: int
Please enter your RAID device count(n) here or 0 if you don't have any supported RAID devices.
xosview then will display n RAID state displays.
xosview*RAIDdiskOnlineColor: color
xosview*RAIDdiskFailureColor: color
These colors will be used for indicating working/online or failed/offline disks. The order (from
left to right) is the same as in /proc/mdstat.
xosview*RAIDresyncdoneColor: color
xosview*RAIDresynctodoColor: color
xosview*RAIDresynccompleteColor: color
If a resync/rebuild of the RAID array is in progress, the "done" and "todo" colors will be used. If
no rebuild/resync is running, then the "complete" color will be shown.
xosview*RAIDPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the RAID
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*RAIDUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
BUGS
Here is a list of known bugs. Reports of unknown bugs are appreciated and should be directed to:
Mike Romberg (mike.romberg@noaa.gov)
General xosview bugs and bugs related to the Linux and HPUX ports.
Brian Grayson (bgrayson@netbsd.org)
Bugs related to the NetBSD port. I am also a catch-all for bug reports for the other *BSDs and
SunOS.

Bugs related to the IRIX port.
OBTAINING
The most current version of xosview can be found at the following sites:
http://xosview.sourceforge.net
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/status/xstatus
For *BSD users with the ports/package system, the sysutils/xosview tree ought to also have a version that is just
as up-to-date.
