15 xosview is a monitor which displays the status of several system param‐
16 eters. These include CPU usage, load average, memory, swap space, net‐
17 work usage and more. Each resource is displayed as a horizontal bar
18 which is separated into color coded regions showing how much of the re‐
19 source is being put to a particular use.
20
21 xosview runs on several platforms (Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
22 DragonflyBSD, some Solaris systems, IRIX 6.5, HPUX and GNU). Not all
23 of the meters described below are supported on all platforms. Some of
24 the meters may appear different depending upon the platform xosview is
25 running on. Note that *BSD is used as an abbreviation for all the sup‐
26 ported BSD operating systems (NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD).

311
312 +bsdsensor
313 This option overrides the xosview*bsdsensor resource. It is
314 equivalent to setting xosview*bsdsensor to "True".
315
316 -xrm resource_string
317 This switch allows any of xosview's resources to be set on the
318 command line. An example of how the xosview*memFreeColor could
319 be set using this option is shown below (Note the use of " to
320 prevent the shell from expanding ´*´ or from creating two sepa‐
321 rate arguments, ´xosview*memfreeColor:´ and ´purple´):
322 -xrm "xosview*memFreeColor: purple"
323
324
326 The following is a list of X resources supported by xosview. Each has
327 a default value assigned to it. These values can be found in the file
328 Xdefaults which can be obtained in the source distribution of xosview.
329 They can be overridden in the usual places (/usr/lib/X11/app-de‐
330 faults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).
331
332 It should be noted that it is OK to have a resource defined for a port
333 of xosview that does not support the feature the resource configures.
334 Xosview will simply ignore the resources that are set for it but not
335 supported on a given platform.
336
337
338 General Resources
339
340 xosview*title: name
341 The string that xosview will use for the X window title. Nor‐
342 mally xosview will use 'xosview@machine_name' for a title. This
343 resource overrides the default behavior.
344
345 xosview*geometry: geometry_string
346 This is a standard X geometry string that defines the size and
347 location of the X window used by xosview.
348
349 xosview*display: name
350 The name of the display where xosview will contact the X server
351 for drawing its window.
352
353 xosview*pixmapName: name
354 The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a background
355 image.
356
357 xosview*captions: (True or False)
358 If True then xosview will display meter captions.
359
360 xosview*labels: (True or False)
361 If True then xosview will display meter labels.
362
363 xosview*meterLabelColor: color
364 The color to use for the meter labels.
365
366 xosview*usedlabels: (True or False)
367 If True then xosview will display labels that show the percent‐
368 age of the resource (or absolute amount, depending on the meter)
369 being used. This option requires that the labels option also be
370 set to True.
371
372 xosview*usedLabelColor: color
373 The color to use for "used" labels.
374
375 xosview*borderwidth: width
376 The width of the border for the xosview window.
377
378 xosview*font: font
379 This is the font that xosview will use. This is a bitmap font
380 rendered at the X server. To list the available fonts, use xls‐
381 fonts(1), and rehash the list with xset(1).
382
383 xosview*background: color
384 This is the color that will be used for the background.
385
386 xosview*foreground: color
387 This is the color that will be used for the foreground.
388
389 xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
390 Change to true to try stipple support. This is primarily for
391 users stuck with 1-bit monitors/display cards. Try setting en‐
392 ableStipple true. Please give us feedback on this, if you use
393 it. It needs some more work, but no one has given us any feed‐
394 back so far.
395
396 xosview*graphNumCols: number
397 This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a meter is in
398 scrolling graph mode. This also has the side-effect of defining
399 the width of the graph columns. This is only used by meters
400 which have graph mode enabled.
401
402
403 Load Meter Resources
404
405 xosview*load: (True or False)
406 If True then xosview will display a load meter.
407
408 xosview*loadProcColor: color
409 This is the color that the load meter will use to display the
410 load average when it is below the warning threshold.
411
412 xosview*loadWarnColor: color
413 This is the color that the load meter will use once the load av‐
414 erage is above the warning but below the critical load thresh‐
415 old.
416
417 xosview*loadCritColor: color
418 This is the color that the load meter will use once the load av‐
419 erage is above critical load threshold.
420
421 xosview*loadIdleColor: color
422 The load meter will use this color to display the idle field.
423
424 xosview*loadPriority: priority
425 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
426 tenths of a second that the load meter waits between updates. A
427 value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
428 fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the me‐
429 ter once a minute.
430
431 xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
432 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
433 which the loadmeter changes its status and color from "normal"
434 to "warning". The default value is the number of processors.
435
436 xosview*loadCritThreshold: int
437 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
438 which the loadmeter changes its status and color from "warning"
439 to "critical". The default value is four times the warning
440 threshold.
441
442 xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)
443 You should probably leave this at the default value (False).
444 The load is already a time-averaged value!
445
446 xosview*loadGraph: (True or False)
447 If this is set to True then the load meter will be drawn as a
448 horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
449 time.
450
451 xosview*loadUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
452 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
453 formats work as follows:
454
455 float:
456 Display the value as a floating point number.
457 percent:
458 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
459 autoscale:
460 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
461 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
462
463 xosview*loadCpuSpeed: (True or False)
464 Display the current CPU speed in the load meter.
465
466
467 CPU Meter Resources
468
469 xosview*cpu: (True or False)
470 If True then xosview will display a cpu meter. On Linux, *BSD,
471 Solaris and IRIX SMP machines, the resource cpuFormat defines
472 how meters are created for multiple CPUs.
473
474 xosview*cpuUserColor: color
475 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu user time
476 field.
477
478 xosview*cpuNiceColor: color
479 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu nice time
480 field.
481
482 xosview*cpuSystemColor: color
483 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu system time
484 field.
485
486 xosview*cpuInterruptColor: color
487 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu hard inter‐
488 rupt time field.
489
490 xosview*cpuSInterruptColor: color
491 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu soft inter‐
492 rupt time field.
493
494 xosview*cpuWaitColor: color
495 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu IO waiting
496 time field.
497
498 xosview*cpuGuestColor: color
499 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu virtualiza‐
500 tion guest time field.
501
502 xosview*cpuNiceGuestColor: color
503 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu niced vir‐
504 tualization guest time field.
505
506 xosview*cpuStolenColor: color
507 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu involuntary
508 wait time field.
509
510 xosview*cpuFreeColor: color
511 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu idle time
512 field.
513
514 xosview*cpuPriority: priority
515 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
516 tenths of a second that the cpu meter waits between updates. A
517 value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
518 fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the me‐
519 ter once a minute.
520
521 xosview*cpuDecay: (True or False)
522 If True then the cpu meter will be split vertically in two. The
523 top half will show the instantaneous state, while the bottom
524 half will display a decaying average of the state.
525
526 xosview*cpuGraph: (True or False)
527 If this is set to True then the cpu meter will be drawn as a
528 horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
529 time.
530
531 xosview*cpuUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
532 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
533 formats work as follows:
534
535 float:
536 Display the value as a floating point number.
537 percent:
538 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
539 autoscale:
540 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
541 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
542
543 xosview*cpuFormat: (single, all, both or auto)
544 If `single', only a cumulative meter for all CPU usage is cre‐
545 ated. `all' creates a meter for each CPU, but no cumulative me‐
546 ter. `both' creates one cumulative meter and one for each CPU.
547 `auto' makes a choice based on the number of CPUs found.
548
549 xosview*cpuFields: USED/USR/NIC/SYS/INT/SI/HI/WIO/GST/NGS/STL/IDLE
550 The set of fields to show in Linux CPU meter instead of the de‐
551 fault. Possible fields are:
552
553 USED:
554 Combine all used CPU time into one field. This is the sum
555 of user, nice, system, soft and hard interrupts, guest,
556 niced guest and stolen times. None of these, except
557 stolen, may be defined together with `USED'.
558 IDLE:
559 Time spent doing nothing. Includes I/O wait if it is not
560 defined separately.
561 USR:
562 Time spent in user mode processes. Includes nice, guest
563 and niced guest if those are not defined separately.
564 NIC:
565 Time spent in niced user mode processes. Includes niced
566 guest if neither it nor guest is not defined separately.
567 SYS:
568 Time spent in kernel code. Includes soft and hard inter‐
569 rupt as well as stolen time if those are not defined sep‐
570 arately.
571 INT:
572 Combines soft and hard interrupt handling times into one
573 field.
574 SI:
575 Time the kernel used to handle soft interrupts. Available
576 on Linux kernel 2.6.0 and higher.
577 HI:
578 Time the kernel used to handle hard interrupts. Available
579 on Linux kernel 2.6.0 and higher.
580 WIO:
581 Time spent waiting for I/O to complete. Available on
582 Linux kernel 2.6.0 and higher.
583 GST:
584 Time spent running guest OS in virtual machine. Includes
585 niced guest if it is not defined separately. Available on
586 Linux kernel 2.6.24 and higher.
587 NGS:
588 Time spent running niced guest OS in virtual machine.
589 Available on Linux kernel 2.6.32 and higher.
590 STL:
591 Involuntary wait time when running as guest in virtual
592 machine. Available on Linux kernel 2.6.11 and higher.
593
594 Most combinations are possible (see above for restrictions), but
595 at least `USED' or `USR' and `SYS' need to be defined. `IDLE'
596 field is added automatically.

949 xosview*serial(0-9): (True, False, or portBase)
950 If True then xosview will display a serial meter for ttySx. The
951 portbase will be autodetected. Because autodetection can fail,
952 (if the port is locked by ppp/slip for example) you can specify
953 the portbase instead of "True". If a portBase is used then
954 xosview will use it instead of trying to autodetect.
955
956 For this to work on Linux xosview needs to be suid root in order
957 to have access to the ports. See the file README.linux which
958 comes with the xosview distribution for more details.

1067 path. For example,
1068 xosview*lmstemp1: temp1
1069 xosview*lmstemp2: temp2_input
1070
1071 Note: Many sensors have the value and alarm threshold in files
1072 named "*_input" and "*_max"/"*_min", respectively. In such case,
1073 specifying the base name such as "temp1" here will be enough for
1074 having both files used.
1075
1076 Note: If the same file name as lmstempN, lmshighN or lmslowN ex‐
1077 ists in other sensor directories, then lmsnameN needs to be
1078 specified, or absolute path used, to find the correct one.
1079
1080 xosview*lmshighN: filename or number
1081 Optional high alarm value or name of file from /sys/class/hw‐
1082 mon/*/{,device}/, N=1,2,3,... Can also be absolute path. If not
1083 given, lmstempHighest is used as both maximum and high alarm.
1084 For example,
1085 xosview*lmshigh1: 70
1086 xosview*lmshigh2: temp1_crit_hyst
1087
1088 xosview*lmslowN: filename or number
1089 Optional low alarm value or name of file from /sys/class/hw‐
1090 mon/*/{,device}/, N=1,2,3,... Can also be absolute path. Default
1091 is 0. For example,
1092 xosview*lmslow1: 1.5
1093 xosview*lmslow2: fan1_min
1094
1095 xosview*lmsnameN: name
1096 Optional name of the sensor device to use when finding the file‐
1097 name(s) given in lmstempN, lmshighN and lmslowN. See
1098 /sys/class/hwmon/*/{,device}/name for the names of your sensors.
1099 This has no effect to files given as absolute paths. For exam‐
1100 ple,

1172 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1173 formats work as follows:
1174
1175 float:
1176 Display the value as a floating point number.
1177 percent:
1178 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
1179 autoscale:
1180 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
1181 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
1182
1183
1184 Intel Core / AMD K8+ / VIA C7 Temperature Sensor Resources
1185
1186 xosview*coretemp: (True or False)
1187 If True then xosview will display a coretemp meter.
1188
1189 xosview*coretempHighest: 100
1190 Highest temp value displayed, default 100. If CPU throttling
1191 temperature (tjMax) is supplied by the operating system, it is
1192 used instead.
1193
1194 xosview*coretempHigh: number
1195 Value to use as alarm temperature, default is coretempHighest.
1196 If a usable value, such as the temperature for which maximum
1197 cooling is required, is supplied by the operating system, it is
1198 used instead.
1199
1200 xosview*coretempActColor: color
1201 Color of actual temperature.
1202
1203 xosview*coretempHighColor: color
1204 Color above alarm temperature, also used to indicate alarm.
1205
1206 xosview*coretempIdleColor: color
1207 Color between actual and alarm temperatures.
1208
1209 xosview*coretempDisplayType: (separate, average or maximum)
1210 This resource tells xosview how to display the CPU temperature.
1211 The formats work as follows:
1212
1213 separate:
1214 Display one meter for each CPU core of a multi-core CPU.
1215 This is the default.
1216 average:
1217 Display the average of core temperatures of a multi-core
1218 CPU. On multi-socket machines, one meter per physical CPU
1219 is displayed.
1220 maximum:
1221 Display the highest core temperature of a multi-core CPU.
1222 On multi-socket machines, one meter per physical CPU is
1223 displayed.
1224
1225 xosview*coretempPriority: priority
1226 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1227 tenths of a second that the coretemp meter waits between up‐
1228 dates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per
1229 second (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to up‐
1230 date the meter once a minute.
1231
1232 xosview*coretempUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1233 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1234 formats work as follows:
1235
1236 float:
1237 Display the value as a floating point number.
1238 percent:
1239 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
1240 autoscale:
1241 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
1242 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
1243
1244
1245 *BSD Sensor Resources
1246
1247 xosview*bsdsensor: (True or False)
1248 If True then xosview will display a bsdsensor meter.
1249
1250 xosview*bsdsensorHighest: number
1251 Highest value displayed. If not given, or too small, the meter
1252 will adjust to fit actual and alarm values. Can be overridden
1253 for any meter with bsdsensorHighestN.
1254
1255 xosview*bsdsensorActColor: color
1256 Color of actual value.
1257
1258 xosview*bsdsensorHighColor: color
1259 Color above high alarm value, also used to indicate alarm.
1260
1261 xosview*bsdsensorLowColor: color
1262 Color of actual value, when it is below low alarm value.
1263
1264 xosview*bsdsensorIdleColor: color
1265 Color between actual and high alarm values.
1266
1267 xosview*bsdsensorN: name.type
1268 xosview*bsdsensorHighN: name.type
1269 xosview*bsdsensorLowN: name.type
1270 These define where the actual value, high alarm value and low
1271 alarm value for meter N=1,2,3,... will be read from. The name is
1272 the sensor driver, and type is the wanted value. Both alarm val‐
1273 ues are optional, and can also be given as static numerical val‐
1274 ues.
1275
1276 You can find the correct pair for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD with
1277 systat command, e.g.
1278 xosview*bsdsensor1: it0.temp1
1279 xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: 100
1280
1281 On NetBSD, you can find the driver name with envstat command.
1282 Value name for the actual reading is typically 'cur-value' and
1283 for high alarm 'critical-max' and for low alarm 'critical-min',
1284 e.g.
1285 xosview*bsdsensor2: coretemp0.cur-value
1286 xosview*bsdsensorHigh2: coretemp0.critical-max
1287
1288 For all possible NetBSD value names, refer to envstat source
1289 code.
1290
1291 FreeBSD has no usable sensor drivers as of version 9.0. However,
1292 ACPI thermal zones can be used by defining the sysctl node below
1293 hw.acpi.thermal, e.g.
1294 xosview*bsdsensor1: tz0.temperature
1295 xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: tz0._CRT
1296
1297 ACPI thermal zones can be used like this on DragonFly BSD as
1298 well.
1299
1300 xosview*bsdsensorLabelN: string
1301 N-th label for above meters, default is SENN.
1302
1303 xosview*bsdsensorHighestN: number
1304 Override default bsdsensorHighest for meter N.
1305
1306 xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormatN: (float, percent or autoscale)
1307 Override default bsdsensorUsedFormat for meter N.
1308
1309 xosview*bsdsensorPriority: priority
1310 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1311 tenths of a second that the bsdsensor meter waits between up‐
1312 dates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per
1313 second (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to up‐
1314 date the meter once a minute.
1315
1316 xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1317 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1318 formats work as follows:

1328
1329 Battery Meter Resources
1330
1331 xosview*battery: (True or False)
1332 If True then xosview will display a battery meter. Linux users
1333 will need to have APM or ACPI support in their kernels for this
1334 to work. For both APM and ACPI, xosview shows the status/sum of
1335 all batteries. Additionally - the legend text gets changed/ad‐
1336 justed to reflect the current state (charging/low/critical/etc.)
1337 of the battery/batteries.
1338
1339 xosview*batteryLeftColor: color
1340 This is the color that will be used to show the amount of bat‐
1341 tery power left.
1342
1343 xosview*batteryUsedColor: color
1344 This is the color that will be used to show the amount of bat‐
1345 tery power used.
1346
1347 xosview*batteryChargeColor: color
1348 This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries
1349 get charged.
1350
1351 xosview*batteryFullColor: color
1352 This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries
1353 are fully charged. APM and ACPI does provide this info, but not
1354 all machines actually do so.
1355
1356 xosview*batteryLowColor: color
1357 APM only - the 'left' color that will indicate a low battery.
1358 Depends on the machine - e.g. below 25% remaining capacity.
1359
1360 xosview*batteryCritColor: color
1361 APM case: the 'left' color if APM indicates 'critical' state.
1362 (less than 5%) ACPI case: the 'left' color if the remaining ca‐
1363 pacity is below the alarm value. (which can be set by the user
1364 in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT[01]/alarm )
1365
1366 xosview*batteryNoneColor: color
1367 If no battery is present - or all batteries get removed (while
1368 on AC).

1374 (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
1375 meter once a minute.
1376
1377 xosview*batteryUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1378 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
