NAME

6       saidar - a curses-based tool for viewing system statistics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       saidar [-d delay] [-c] [-v] [-h]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

COLOURED OUTPUT

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.
