NAME
  dxsysinfo - Monitors a system and its file systems and devices

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo [options]

OPTIONS
  The System Information application has the following command line options.

  -cpu
      Specifies that the CPU Activity meter is displayed.

  -dashview
      Shrinks the window so that only the General Information area is
      visible.

  -dev
      Specifies that the Device Information area is displayed.

  -fs Specifies that the File System area is displayed.

  -lights
      Specifies that the warning lights for file systems and swap space are
      displayed.

  -mem
      Specifies that the Free Memory meter is displayed.

  -swap
      Specifies that the Available Swap meter is displayed.

  If you use these options 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 the options that the user specifies
  and any customizations made while running the application. If any of the
  above command-line options are used, the application does not use the
  settings in the user preferences file.

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

  The following list documents selected X Toolkit options.

  -bg color, -background color
      Specifies the color to use for the window background.

  -d dispname
      Specifies the display screen on which dxsysinfo displays its window. If
      the display option is not specified, dxsysinfo uses the display screen
      specified by your DISPLAY environment variable.  The display option has
      the format hostname:number. The default is :0.  For more information,
      see the X(1X) reference page.

  -display dispname
      Performs the same function as the -d option.

  -fg color, -foreground color
      Specifies the color to use for the window foreground.
