dxsysinfo(8)dxsysinfo(8)NAMEdxsysinfo - Monitors system information such as CPU activity, memory,
swap space, and file system usage
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo [options]
OPTIONS
Displays the CPU Activity meter. 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. Displays the File System area. Displays warning lights for
file systems and swap space that have exceeded the recommended thresh‐
old. Displays the In-Use Memory meter. 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 Sys‐
tem Information application does not read the View state settings in
the user preferences file. If the -dashview option is used on the com‐
mand 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.
