DESCRIPTION

16       wmfire is flaming dock app which can monitor your cpu, memory,  network
17       or a file.
18
19       o Left click to change the status monitor (unless locked)
20       o Middle click to hide/show nice'd process on cpu load
21       o Right click to change flame colour (unless locked)
22       o Mouse wheel up or down is the same as left click
23
24       On  mouse  over  the cursor will disappear and be replaced by a burning
25       spot at that location. After two seconds symbols will be burnt to  rep‐
26       resent  what  is being monitored. For cpu, a short solid bar represents
27       average load or a line of dots representing the current cpu  number  on
28       SMP systems. For the memory, a grid of dots is used to signify a memory
29       array. For the network, a line of marching dots is  like  data  passing
30       through a cable. For file values, a spinning disk platter is shown.

NOTES

86       The file monitoring will only read the first value in a file. For  com‐
87       plex  parsing  use  an  external program to read the required value and
88       write it to the same file wmfire is set to read.
