NAME¶
procmeter3-log - A system monitoring / logging program.
SYNOPSIS¶
procmeter3-log [-h|--help] [--rc=<filename>] [--...]
[...]
DESCRIPTION¶
ProcMeter Displays one or more pieces of information about the operating
system and other resources. Most of the information that is displayed comes
from the /proc filesystem. The program is modular and very configurable.
OPTIONS¶
The command line options are described below.
- -h
- Provides a help message listing the available outputs. This will be
different for different computers depending on the Linux kernel version
that is being used and the hardware/software that is configured.
- --rc=<filename>
- Load the specified .procmeterrc file in stead of the searching in
the usual places.
- --...
- A list of configuration file options that will override the values in the
.procmeterrc file. The format of these options is (for example)
--library.path=/usr/local/procmeter3 which is equivalent to the
entry in the .procmeterrc file of
[library]
path = /usr/local/procmeter3
All spaces around the equal sign must be removed and if spaces are required
in the value on the right hand side then quotes must be used around the
entire command line option.
- ...
- A list of names of outputs that are to be displayed. This can include any
of the outputs that are available (see the -h option). For the CPU usage
is in a module named Statistics with an output named CPU and
there are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar (-b) options. Since this version
of the program does not display anything, but logs the data to a file it
does not matter which one is chosen. To store the CPU usage data you would
use the command line option Statistics.CPU-t
USAGE¶
When started the program will log all of the requested information on the
standard output (stdout). The outputs that are displayed are those from the
command line and those from the
.procmeterrc configuration file.
