.SH "NAME" 
slmon \- program  for  monitoring system\&'s performance in realtime\&.
.PP 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
\fBslmon\fP [options]
.PP 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
\fBSLmon\fP is a tool for monitoring system\&'s performance\&. It displays results
using nice and (hopefully) readable text-based UI\&. Currently monitored
are:
.PP 
.IP o 
CPU load (SMP is supported)
.IP o 
network interfaces
.IP o 
memory (including swap)
.IP o 
uptime, date and time
.IP o 
number of logged in users
.IP o 
mounted filesystems
.IP o 
processes
.PP 
.PP 
\fBSLmon\fP uses \fIglibtop\fP version >= 2 and \fIlibslang\fP 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)\&.
.PP 
Starting with 0\&.5\&.13 \fIGlib\fP library is needed\&.

.SH "OPTIONS" 
.IP "-v, --version" 
Display version and copying and exit
.IP "-h, --help" 
Display brief usage information
.IP "-f, --fs-unit=[kmg]" 
Specify filesystem usage unit, where: b=bytes,
k=kbytes, m=mbytes, g=gbytes
.IP "-m, --mem-unit=[bkmg]" 
Specify memory usage unit, where: b=bytes,
k=kbytes, m=mbytes, g=gbytes
.IP "-n, --net-unit=[bkmg]" 
Specify network traffic unit, where: b=bytes,
k=kbytes, m=mbytes, g=gbytes
.IP "-d, --mode=[mpnh]" 
Start in mode \&'M\&' where: m=main, p=process, n=network, h=histogram
.IP "-u, --update=<seconds>" 
Specify update interval in seconds
.PP 
.SH "Configuration files" 
SLmon looks for the configuration file in the following locations:
.IP "/etc/slmonrc" 
.IP "/usr/local/etc/slmonrc" 
if the previous one fails
.IP "$HOME/\&.slmonrc" 
.PP 
Options can be specified in the form of pairs: \fI<key> = <value>\fP\&. Lines
beginning with \&'#\&' are treated as comments (note: all leading whitespaces are
stripped)\&. All subsequent definitions of a certain option overwrite previous
declarations except for the \fInet_dev\fP option\&.
.PP 
Available options (more to come :)):
.PP 
.IP "mode" 
Start certain mode: m=main, p=process, n=network, h=histogram\&.
.IP "mem_unit" 
Specify memory usage unit [bkm]\&.
.IP "fs_unit" 
Specify filesystem usage unit [kmg]\&.
.IP "net_unit" 
Specify network traffic unit [bkmg]\&.
.IP "net_dev" 
Add a network interface to list of monitored interfaces\&.
.IP "update_time" 
Specify update interval in seconds\&.

.SH "FILES"
