- --TT _i_n_t_e_r_v_a_l
- Sets the interval at which the display is updated.
- Default is 5 seconds.
-
- --HH _h_e_i_g_h_t
- Sets the height of each graph displayed. Default is 40
- pixels.
-
- --uu Display CPU utilization on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0.
-
- --NN _n_u_m _C_P_U_s
- Do CPU utilization for more than one CPU.
-
- --RR Display the number of remote processes belonging to
- this host (in 10's).
-
- --aa Display the number of hosts to which this host can
- migrate (in 10's).
-
- --AA _a_v_a_i_l_I_n_t_e_r_v_a_l
- Sets the interval at which the count of available hosts
- is updated. Default is 15 seconds.
-
- --ff Display file system cache size.
-
- --vv Display amount of physical memory devoted to user vir-
- tual memory.
-
- --%% Display cache size (--ff) or VM size (--vv) as a percentage
- of main memory.
-
- --MM Display cache size (--ff) or VM size (--vv) in megabytes.
-
- --pp Display the number of page-ins (in 100's). This is a
- sum of text, heap, and stack page-ins.
-
- --PP Display the number of pages written out to swap files
- (in 100's).
-
- --ii Display the number of ethernet packets received (in
- 100's).

- Display disk statistics for all disks in the system
- (superceeds -D).
-

- This widget displays operating system parameters as a run-
- ning graph. It is an X toolkit widget and so it needs to
- run under the X window system. This is a ``load widget'',
- which displays a value every _i_n_t_e_r_v_a_l seconds, and has a
- title but no vertical scale. Instead, horizontal lines are
- drawn to represent increments in the native unit of whatever
- is being displayed. For some parameters, like percentage of
- memory devoted to the file system cache, the displayed value
- is always between 0 and 1 so there are no horizontal scale
- lines. For the megabytes of filesystem cache there will be
- horizontal lines that represent megabytes, for remote
- processes there will be horizontal lines to represent 10's
- of remote processes, and for paging and network traffic
- there will be horizontal lines to represent 100's of events.
- The value displayed is truncated to the largest value that
- can be displayed without causing the horizontal lines to
- completely occupy the display. This value is equal to half
- the pane height.
-
- Several system parameters can be viewed at once; the load
- meters are organized into a vertical pane with each meter of
- equal height. It is best to let spritemon determine its own
- geometry at startup (it will use the default pane height
- times the number of parameters being displayed), or you can
- specify a geometry argument on the command line and spri-
- temon will evenly divide the window into panes. Otherwise,
- if you drag out a window size, the VPane widget does a poor
- job of picking the heights of individual panes.
-
- The disk related options only work on machines with disks.
- The --DD option specifies which disk to display information
- about, or --ddiisskkss can be used to display information about
- all the disks in the system. Utilization is displayed, and
- --rr and --ww are used to display raw read and write counts.

- The number to specify to --DD corresponds to a kernel table
- entry that is indexed starting at zero.

- The --ii option needs to be glommed together with another
- option, i.e. --iioo, or it gets interpreted by the X toolkit
- and sspprriitteemmoonn starts out iconic.
-
- The value of the argument to --DD is un-intuitive.
-
- The disk information should display the file system name,
- but kernel support is needed for this.
