dxsysinfo(8)


NAME

  dxsysinfo - Monitors system information such as CPU activity, memory, swap
  space, and file system usage


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo [options]


OPTIONS

  -cpu
      Displays the CPU Activity meter.

  -dashview
      Shrinks the window so that only the General Information area is
      visible. The -dashview option is ignored when it conflicts with other
      options or when all of the components in the General Information area
      were deselected in a previous invocation of the System Information
      application.  This option is incompatible with the -fs option. If
      -dashview is specified with -fs, -dashview is ignored.

  -fs Displays the File System area.

  -lights
      Displays warning lights for file systems and swap space that have
      exceeded the recommended threshold.

  -mem
      Displays the In-Use Memory meter.

  -swap
      Displays the Available Swap meter.

  When these options are used on the command line, only the specified parts
  of the application are displayed.

  A user preferences file is created in the user's home directory the first
  time the application runs. It records user-specified options and any
  customizations made while running the application. If any of the command
  line options other than the -dashview option are used, the System
  Information application does not read the View state settings in the user
  preferences file. If the -dashview option is used on the command line
  without any other options, the application reads the View state settings in
  the user preferences file, $HOME/.sysman/Dxsysinfo.

  System Information accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
  options, which are documented in the X(1X) reference page.
