9 xosview [options]
10
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
19 resource is being put to a particular use.
20 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).

123 option for typical X applications like xterm). When performing
124 resource lookups, xosview will look under name, and then under
125 ``xosview''. For an example, perform the following (as docu‐
126 mented in README.netbsd):

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
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-
330 defaults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).
331 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 General Resources
339 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 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 xosview*display: name
350 The name of the display where xosview will contact the X server
351 for drawing its window.
352 xosview*pixmapName: name
354 The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a background
355 image.
356 xosview*captions: (True or False)
358 If True then xosview will display meter captions.
359 xosview*labels: (True or False)
361 If True then xosview will display meter labels.
362 xosview*meterLabelColor: color
364 The color to use for the meter labels.
365 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 xosview*usedLabelColor: color
373 The color to use for "used" labels.
374 xosview*borderwidth: width
376 The width of the border for the xosview window.
377 xosview*font: font
379 This is the font that xosview will use.
380 xosview*background: color
382 This is the color that will be used for the background.
383 xosview*foreground: color
385 This is the color that will be used for the foreground.
386 xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
388 Change to true to try stipple support. This is primarily for
389 users stuck with 1-bit monitors/display cards. Try setting
390 enableStipple true. Please give us feedback on this, if you use
391 it. It needs some more work, but no one has given us any feed‐
392 back so far.
393 xosview*graphNumCols: number
395 This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a meter is in
396 scrolling graph mode. This also has the side-effect of defining
397 the width of the graph columns. This is only used by meters
398 which have graph mode enabled.
399 Load Meter Resources
402 xosview*load: (True or False)
404 If True then xosview will display a load meter.
405 xosview*loadProcColor: color
407 This is the color that the load meter will use to display the
408 load average when it is below the warning threshold.
409 xosview*loadWarnColor: color
411 This is the color that the load meter will use once the load
412 average is above the warning but below the critical load thresh‐
413 old.
414 xosview*loadCritColor: color
416 This is the color that the load meter will use once the load
417 average is above critical load threshold.
418 xosview*loadIdleColor: color
420 The load meter will use this color to display the idle field.
421 xosview*loadPriority: priority
423 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
424 tenths of a second that the load meter waits between updates. A
425 value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
426 fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
427 meter once a minute.
428 xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
430 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
431 which the loadmeter changes its status and color from "normal"
432 to "warning". The default value is the number of processors.
433 xosview*loadCritThreshold: int
435 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
436 which the loadmeter changes its status and color from "warning"
437 to "critical". The default value is four times the warning
438 threshold.
439 xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)
441 You should probably leave this at the default value (False).
442 The load is already a time-averaged value!
443 xosview*loadGraph: (True or False)
445 If this is set to True then the load meter will be drawn as a
446 horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
447 time.
448 xosview*loadUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
450 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
451 formats work as follows:
452 float:
454 Display the value as a floating point number.
455 percent:
456 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
457 autoscale:
458 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
459 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
460 xosview*loadCpuSpeed: (True or False)
462 Display the current CPU speed in the load meter.
463 CPU Meter Resources
466 xosview*cpu: (True or False)
468 If True then xosview will display a cpu meter. On Linux, *BSD,
469 Solaris and IRIX SMP machines, the resource cpuFormat defines
470 how meters are created for multiple CPUs.
471 xosview*cpuUserColor: color
473 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu user time
474 field.
475 xosview*cpuNiceColor: color
477 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu nice time
478 field.
479 xosview*cpuSystemColor: color
481 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu system time
482 field.
483 xosview*cpuInterruptColor: color
485 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu hard inter‐
486 rupt time field.
487 xosview*cpuSInterruptColor: color
489 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu soft inter‐
490 rupt time field.
491 xosview*cpuWaitColor: color
493 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu IO waiting
494 time field.
495 xosview*cpuGuestColor: color
497 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu virtualiza‐
498 tion guest time field.
499 xosview*cpuNiceGuestColor: color
501 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu niced vir‐
502 tualization guest time field.
503 xosview*cpuStolenColor: color
505 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu involuntary
506 wait time field.
507 xosview*cpuFreeColor: color
509 The cpu meter will use this color to display the cpu idle time
510 field.
511 xosview*cpuPriority: priority
513 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
514 tenths of a second that the cpu meter waits between updates. A
515 value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
516 fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
517 meter once a minute.
518 xosview*cpuDecay: (True or False)
520 If True then the cpu meter will be split vertically in two. The
521 top half will show the instantaneous state, while the bottom
522 half will display a decaying average of the state.
523 xosview*cpuGraph: (True or False)
525 If this is set to True then the cpu meter will be drawn as a
526 horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
527 time.
528 xosview*cpuUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
530 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
531 formats work as follows:
532 float:
534 Display the value as a floating point number.
535 percent:
536 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
537 autoscale:
538 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
539 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
540 xosview*cpuFormat: (single, all, both or auto)
542 If `single', only a cumulative meter for all CPU usage is cre‐
543 ated. `all' creates a meter for each CPU, but no cumulative
544 meter. `both' creates one cumulative meter and one for each CPU.
545 `auto' makes a choice based on the number of CPUs found.
546 xosview*cpuFields: USED/USR/NIC/SYS/INT/SI/HI/WIO/GST/NGS/STL/IDLE
548 The set of fields to show in Linux CPU meter instead of the
549 default. Possible fields are:
550 USED:
552 Combine all used CPU time into one field. This is the sum
553 of user, nice, system, soft and hard interrupts, guest,
554 niced guest and stolen times. None of these, except
555 stolen, may be defined together with `USED'.
556 IDLE:

855 going).
856 xosview*netIface: interface
858 If False, xosview will display the data received/transmitted by
859 any of the network interfaces. Otherwise, xosview will only dis‐
860 play the data received/transmitted by the specified network
861 interface. If the name is prepended with '-' sign, the data in
862 that interface is ignored.
863 xosview*netInColor: color
865 The net meter will use this color to display the incoming field.

946 xosview*serial(0-9): (True, False, or portBase)
948 If True then xosview will display a serial meter for ttySx. The
949 portbase will be autodetected. Because autodetection can fail,
950 (if the port is locked by ppp/slip for example) you can specify
951 the portbase instead of "True". If a portBase is used then
952 xosview will use it instead of trying to autodetect.

1066 xosview*lmstemp1: temp1
1067 xosview*lmstemp2: temp2_input
1068 Note: Many sensors have the value and alarm threshold in files
1070 named "*_input" and "*_max"/"*_min", respectively. In such case,
1071 specifying the base name such as "temp1" here will be enough for
1072 having both files used.
1073 Note: If the same file name as lmstempN, lmshighN or lmslowN

1273 You can find the correct pair for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD with
1275 systat command, e.g.
1276 xosview*bsdsensor1: it0.temp1
1277 xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: 100
1278 On NetBSD, you can find the driver name with envstat command.
1280 Value name for the actual reading is typically 'cur-value' and
1281 for high alarm 'critical-max' and for low alarm 'critical-min',
1282 e.g.
1283 xosview*bsdsensor2: coretemp0.cur-value
1284 xosview*bsdsensorHigh2: coretemp0.critical-max
1285 For all possible NetBSD value names, refer to envstat source
1287 code.
1288 FreeBSD has no usable sensor drivers as of version 9.0. However,
1290 ACPI thermal zones can be used by defining the sysctl node below
1291 hw.acpi.thermal, e.g.
1292 xosview*bsdsensor1: tz0.temperature
1293 xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: tz0._CRT
1294 ACPI thermal zones can be used like this on DragonFly BSD as
1296 well.
1297 xosview*bsdsensorLabelN: string
1299 N-th label for above meters, default is SENN.
1300 xosview*bsdsensorHighestN: number
1302 Override default bsdsensorHighest for meter N.
1303 xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormatN: (float, percent or autoscale)
1305 Override default bsdsensorUsedFormat for meter N.
1306 xosview*bsdsensorPriority: priority
1308 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1309 tenths of a second that the bsdsensor meter waits between
1310 updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per
1311 second (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
1312 update the meter once a minute.
1313 xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1315 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1316 formats work as follows:
1317 float:
1319 Display the value as a floating point number.
1320 percent:
1321 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
1322 autoscale:
1323 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
1324 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
1325 Battery Meter Resources
1328 xosview*battery: (True or False)
1330 If True then xosview will display a battery meter. Linux users
1331 will need to have APM or ACPI support in their kernels for this
1332 to work. For both APM and ACPI, xosview shows the status/sum of
1333 all batteries. Additionally - the legend text gets
1334 changed/adjusted to reflect the current state (charg‐
1335 ing/low/critical/etc.) of the battery/batteries.
1336 xosview*batteryLeftColor: color
1338 This is the color that will be used to show the amount of bat‐
1339 tery power left.
1340 xosview*batteryUsedColor: color
1342 This is the color that will be used to show the amount of bat‐
1343 tery power used.
1344 xosview*batteryChargeColor: color
1346 This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries
1347 get charged.
1348 xosview*batteryFullColor: color
1350 This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the batteries
1351 are fully charged. APM and ACPI does provide this info, but not
1352 all machines actually do so.
1353 xosview*batteryLowColor: color
1355 APM only - the 'left' color that will indicate a low battery.
1356 Depends on the machine - e.g. below 25% remaining capacity.
1357 xosview*batteryCritColor: color
1359 APM case: the 'left' color if APM indicates 'critical' state.
1360 (less than 5%) ACPI case: the 'left' color if the remaining
1361 capacity is below the alarm value. (which can be set by the
1362 user in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT[01]/alarm )
1363 xosview*batteryNoneColor: color
1365 If no battery is present - or all batteries get removed (while
1366 on AC).
1367 xosview*batteryPriority: priority
1369 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1370 tenths of a second that the battery meter waits between updates.
1371 A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second
1372 (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
1373 meter once a minute.
1374 xosview*batteryUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1376 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1377 formats work as follows:
1378 float:

1381 percent:
1382 Display the value as a percentage of the total.
1383 autoscale:
1384 Display the absolute value and automatically print the
1385 units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
1386 Wireless Meter Resources
1389 xosview*wireless: (True or False)
1391 If True then xosview will display the link quality of each wire‐
1392 less connection. Note that the graph will *never* show up, if
1393 you don't have any wireless devices, or no wireless extensions
1394 in the kernel (/proc/net/wireless). Default is true.
1395 xosview*PoorQualityColor: color
1397 This is the color for the quality field when between 0 and 6.
1398 xosview*FairQualityColor: color
1400 This is the color for the quality field when between 7 and 14.
1401 xosview*GoodQualityColor: color
1403 This is the color for the quality field when higher than 14.
1404 xosview*wirelessUsedColor: color
1406 This is the background color.
1407 xosview*wirelessPriority: priority
1409 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1410 tenths of a second that the wireless meter waits between
1411 updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per
1412 second (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to
1413 update the meter once a minute.
1414 xosview*wirelessDecay: (True or False)
1416 If True then the wireless meter will be split vertically in two.
1417 The top half will show the instantaneous state, while the bottom
1418 half will display a decaying average of the state.
1419 xosview*wirelessUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1421 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1422 formats work as follows:

1449 bytes per second for the disk meter.
1450 xosview*diskWriteColor: color
1452 This color will be used for the linux meter to show writes.
1453 xosview*diskReadColor: color
1455 This color will be used for the linux meter to show reads.
1456 xosview*diskPriority: priority
1458 This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
1459 tenths of a second that the disk meter waits between updates. A
1460 value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the
1461 fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update the
1462 meter once a minute.
1463 xosview*diskDecay: (True or False)
1465 If True then the disk meter will be split vertically in two.
1466 The top half will show the instantaneous state, while the bottom
1467 half will display a decaying average of the state.
1468 xosview*diskGraph: (True or False)
1470 If this is set to True then the disk meter will be drawn as a
1471 horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
1472 time.
1473 xosview*diskUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
1475 This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
1476 formats work as follows:
