NAMExosview - X based system monitor
SYNOPSISxosview [options]
DESCRIPTIONxosview is a monitor which displays the status of several
system based parameters. These include CPU usage, load
average, memory usage, swap space usage, network usage,
interrupts, and serial port status. Each of these is dis-
played as a horizontal bar which is separated into color
coded regions. Each region represents a percentage of the
resource which is being put to a particular use. Typing a
'q' in the window will terminate xosview.
At the moment xosview runs on seven platforms (Linux,
NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, some Solaris systems, IRIX 6.5
and HPUX). Not all of the meters described below are sup-
ported on all platforms. Some of the meters may appear
different depending upon the platform xosview is running
on. Note that *BSD is used as an abbreviation for all
three of the free BSD operating systems (NetBSD, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD).

OPTIONS
Most of these command line options are just a convenient
way to set one or more of xosview's resources. Please see
the RESOURCES section for more details on what the
resource is for.
-v
Displays the version number.
-name name
Sets the Resource name xosview will use (same as
the -name option for typical X applications like
xterm). When performing resource lookups, xosview
will look under name, and then under ``xosview''.
For an example, perform the following (as docu-
mented in README.netbsd):
xrdb -merge Xdefaults.stipple
xosview-name xosvstipple &
xosview-name xosvstipplebw &
-display display
Sets the X display to display. This option over-
rides the xosview*display resource.

This switch allows any of xosview's resources to be
set on the command line. An example of how the
xosview*memFreeColor could be set using this option
is shown below (Note the use of " to prevent the
shell from expanding '*' or from creating two sepa-
rate arguments, 'xosview*memfreeColor:' and 'pur-
ple'):
-xrm "xosview*memFreeColor: purple"
X RESOURCES
The following is a list of X resources supported by
xosview. Each has a default value assigned to it. These
values can be found in the file Xdefaults which can be
obtained in the source distribution of xosview. They can
be overridden in the usual places (/usr/lib/X11/app-
defaults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).
It should be noted that it is OK to have a resource
defined for a port of xosview that does not support the
feature the resource configures. Xosview will simply
ignore the resources that are set for it but not supported
on a given platform.
General Resources
xosview*title: name
The string that xosview will use for the X window
title. Normally xosview will use
'xosview@machine_name' for a title. This resource
overrides the default behavior.
xosview*geometry: geometry_string
This is a standard X geometry string that defines
the size and location of the X window used by
xosview.
xosview*display: name
The name of the display where xosview will contact
the X server for drawing its window.
xosview*pixmapName: name
The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a
background image.
xosview*captions: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter captions.
xosview*labels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter labels.
xosview*meterLabelColor: color
The color to use for the meter labels.
xosview*usedlabels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display labels that show
the percentage of the resource (or absolute amount,
depending on the meter) being used. This option
requires that the labels option also be set to
True.
xosview*usedLabelColor: color
The color to use for "used" labels.
xosview*borderwidth: width
The width of the border for the xosview window.
xosview*font: font
This is the font that xosview will use.
xosview*background: color
This is the color that will be used for the back-
ground.
xosview*foreground: color
This is the color that will be used for the fore-
ground.
xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
Change to true to try stipple support. This is
primarily for users stuck with 1-bit monitors/dis-
play cards. Try setting enableStipple true.
Please give us feedback on this, if you use it. It
needs some more work, but no one has given us any
feedback so far.
xosview*graphNumCols: number
This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a
meter is in scrolling graph mode. This also has the
side-effect of defining the width of the graph
columns. This is only used by meters which have
graph mode enabled.
Load Meter Resources
xosview*load: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a load meter.
xosview*loadWarnColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use once
the load average is greater than 1.
xosview*loadProcColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use to
display the load average when it is less than or
equal to 1.
xosview*loadIdleColor: color
The load meter will use this color to display the
idle field.
xosview*loadPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the load
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the value at which the loadmeter changes its status
and color from "normal" to "alarm". The default
value is 2.
xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)
You should probably leave this at the default value
(False). The load is already a time-averaged
value!
xosview*loadGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the load meter will be
drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing
the state value verses time.
xosview*loadUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used"
labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point num-
ber.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the
total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
CPU Meter Resources
xosview*cpu: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a cpu meter. On
linux SMP machines this will cause a seperate meter
to be displayed for each cpu if Jerome Forissier's
kernel patch has been applied. See the
'README.linux' file for more details. On IRIX 6.5,
the resource cpuFormat decides which meters are
created for multiple CPUs.
xosview*cpuUserColor: color
The cpu meter will use this color to display the
cpu user time field.
xosview*cpuNiceColor: color

cpu system time field.
xosview*cpuInterruptColor: color
The cpu meter will use this color to display the
cpu interrupt time field.
xosview*cpuFreeColor: color
The cpu meter will use this color to display the
cpu idle time field.
xosview*cpuPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the cpu meter
waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview
update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest).
A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
meter once a minute.
xosview*cpuDecay: (True or False)
If True then the cpu meter will be split vertically
in two. The top half will show the instantaneous
state, while the bottom half will display a decay-
ing average of the state.
xosview*cpuGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the cpu meter will be
drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing
the state value verses time.

total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
xosview*cpuFormat: (single, all, both or auto)
IRIX only.
If single, only a cumulative meter for all CPU is
created. All creates a meter for each CPU, but no
cumulative meter. Both creates one cumulative meter
and one per cpu. auto behaves like single on
uniprocessor system, and like both on multiproces-
sor systems.

xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*pageDecay: (True or False)
If True then the page meter will be split verti-
cally in two. The top half will show the instanta-
neous state, while the bottom half will display a
decaying average of the state.

ter changes its status and color from "normal" to
"warn". The default value is 60.
xosview*gfxAlarmThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= gfxWarn-
Threshold) of swapbuffers per second and pipe at
which the gfxmeter changes its status and color
from "warn" to "alarm". The default value is 120.
xosview*gfxDecay: (True or False)

users will have to configure their kernels and
setup some ip accounting rules to make this work.
See the file README.linux which comes with the
xosview distribution for details.
xosview*netBandwidth: maxBytes
This number is used to specify the expected maximum
bandwidth (in bytes / sec) for the meter. When the

the number of tenths of a second that the net meter
waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview
update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest).
A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
meter once a minute.
xosview*netDecay: (True or False)
If True then the net meter will be split vertically
in two. The top half will show the instantaneous
state, while the bottom half will display a decay-

print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Serial Meter Resources
xosview*serial(0-9): (True, False, or portBase)
If True then xosview will display a serial meter
for ttySx. The portbase will be autodetected.
Because autodetection can fail, (if the port is
locked by ppp/slip for example) you can specify the
portbase instead of "True". If a portBase is used
then xosview will use it instead of trying to
autodetect.
For this to work on Linux xosview needs to be suid
root in order to have access to the ports. See the
file README.linux which comes with the xosview dis-
tribution for more details.
xosview*serialOnColor: color
This is the color the serial meter will use for
bits that are set.
xosview*serialOffColor: color
This is the color the serial meter will use for
bits that are not set.
xosview*serialPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the serial
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
Interrupt Meter Resources
xosview*interrupts: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display an interrupt
meter.
xosview*intOnColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show
"active" interrupts.

This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the int meter
waits between updates. A value of 1 has xosview
update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest).
A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
meter once a minute.
Lm Sensors Temperature Resources
xosview*lmstemp: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a lmstemp meter.

Color of actual temperature.
xosview*lmstempHighColor: color
Color above alarm temperature, also used to indi-
cate alarm.
xosview*lmstempIdleColor: color
Color between actual and alarm temperatures.
xosview*lmstempN: filename
Name of temperature file from /proc/sys/dev/sen-
sors/*/*, N=1..
Note if more files with same name exists, only the
first is found. There is currently no possiblity to
configure equal named files on different busses
(which would be rarely necessary, I hope).
eg.
xosview*lmstemp1: temp
xosview*lmstemp2: remote_temp
xosview*lmstempLabelN: Labelstring
N-th label for above temperatures, default is TMP.
xosview*lmstempPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the lmstemp
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*lmstempUsedFormat: (float, percent or
autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used"
labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point num-
ber.

Display the value as a percentage of the
total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Battery Meter Resources
xosview*battery: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a battery meter.
Linux users will need to have APM support in their
kernels for this to work. See the file
README.linux which comes with the xosview
distribution for more details.
xosview*batteryLeftColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show the
amount of battery power left.
xosview*batteryUsedColor: color

amount of battery power used.
xosview*batteryPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the battery
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*batteryUsedFormat: (float, percent or
autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used"
labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point num-
ber.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the
total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Disk Meter Resources
xosview*disk: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a disk meter.
xosview*diskUsedColor: color
The disk meter will use this color to display the
bytes transferred (in or out) field.
xosview*diskIdleColor: color
The disk meter will use this color to display the
idle field.
xosview*diskBandwidth: bandwidth
This number is used to specify the expected maximum
bandwidth in bytes per second for the disk meter.
xosview*diskWriteColor: color
This color will be used for the linux meter to show
writes.
xosview*diskReadColor: color
This color will be used for the linux meter to show
reads.
xosview*diskPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the disk
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*diskDecay: (True or False)
If True then the disk meter will be split verti-
cally in two. The top half will show the
instantaneous state, while the bottom half will
display a decaying average of the state.
xosview*diskGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the disk meter will be
drawn as a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing
the state value verses time.
xosview*diskUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used"
labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point num-
ber.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the
total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
RAID Meter Resources
xosview*RAID: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a RAID meter.
xosview*RAIDdevicecount: int
Please enter your RAID device count (n) here or 0
if you don't have any supported RAID devices.
xosview then will display n RAID state displays.
xosview*RAIDdiskOnlineColor: color
xosview*RAIDdiskFailureColor: color
These colors will be used for indicating work-
ing/online or failed/offline disks. The order (from
left to right) is the same as in /proc/mdstat.
xosview*RAIDresyncdoneColor: color
xosview*RAIDresynctodoColor: color
xosview*RAIDresynccompleteColor: color
If a resync/rebuild of the RAID array is in
progress, the "done" and "todo" colors will be
used. If no rebuild/resync is running, then the
"complete" color will be shown.
xosview*RAIDPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets
the number of tenths of a second that the RAID
meter waits between updates. A value of 1 has
xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
update the meter once a minute.
xosview*RAIDUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used"
labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point num-
ber.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the
total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically
print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
BUGS
Here is a list of known bugs. Reports of unknown bugs are
appreciated and should be directed to:
Mike Romberg (romberg@fsl.noaa.gov)
General xosview bugs and bugs related to the
Linux and HPUX ports.
Brian Grayson (bgrayson@netbsd.org)
Bugs related to the NetBSD port. I am also
a catch-all for bug reports for the other
*BSDs and SunOS.
Stefan Eilemann (eile@sgi.com)

OBTAINING
The most current version of xosview can be found at the
following sites:
http://xosview.sourceforge.net
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/status/xsta-
tus
For *BSD users with the ports/package system, the sysu-
tils/xosview tree ought to also have a version that is
just as up-to-date.
