12 saidar is a curses-based tool for viewing the system statistics avail‐
13 able through libstatgrab. Statistics include CPU, processes, load, mem‐
14 ory, swap, network I/O, disk I/O, and file system information.
15
17 The following options are supported.
18
19 -d DELAY
20 Wait DELAY seconds between updates (default 3)
21
22 -c Enables coloured output
23
24 -v Prints the version number
25
26 -h Display help and exits
27
29 When the -c option is used saidar uses colours to display the data.
30 Each area has a different colour to distinguish it from the nearby
31 fields. Bold and reverse video effects are used to emphasis fields
32 where necessary.
33
34 The load average figures are displayed in bold when they're notably
35 (greater that 1) different to each other. This purely shows that a
36 change in the load is occurring.
37
38 When CPU usage goes over 60% it will be displayed in bold. At 90% the
39 field is displayed using reverse video. Likewise for memory, swap and
40 disk usage at 75% and 90%. Zombie processes are also highlighted.
41
42 Other values (paging, disk I/O and network I/O) are not highlighted due
43 to the nature of the values; it's not easy to determine what thresholds
44 are significant.
