13
15 The xisdnload program displays a periodically updating histogram of the
16 ISDN load average.
17
19 Xisdnload accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options
20 (see X(1)). The order of the options in unimportant. xisdnload also
21 accepts the following additional options:
22 -hl color or -highlight color
24 This option specifies the color of the scale lines.
25 -online color
27 This option specifies the background color when one or more
28 ISDN channels are online.
29 -active color
31 This option specifies the background color when any route is
32 found that is directed to an interface named isdn* or ippp*.
33 -trying color
35 This option specifies the background color when at least one
36 attempt to setup a cennection is pending.
37 -jumpscroll number of pixels
39 The number of pixels to shift the graph to the left when the
40 graph reaches the right edge of the window. The default value
41 is 1/2 the width of the current window. Smooth scrolling can
42 be achieved by setting it to 1.
43 -label string
45 The string to put into the label above the load average when
46 beeing online. It is interpreted as a standard format string
47 and may contain the dialed number (%s), the minutes (%d) and
48 seconds (%d) being online, the actual cps rate (%f), the amount
49 of kbytes transfered (%d) and a connection history (%s) in this
50 sequence.
51 -nolabel
53 If this command line option is specified then no label will be
54 displayed above the load graph.
55 -scale integer
57 This option specifies the minimum number of tick marks in the
58 histogram, where one division represents one load average
59 point. If the load goes above this number, xisdnload will cre‐
60 ate more divisions, but it will never use fewer than this num‐
61 ber. The default is 1.
62 -update seconds
64 This option specifies the interval in seconds at which xis‐
65 dnload updates its display. The minimum amount of time allowed
66 between updates is 1 second. The default is 10.
67 -activate command
69 This option specifies a command to be executed when dial-on-
70 demand is not active and you clicked on the xisdnload
71 stripchart. A typical command might be something like `sudo
72 /etc/init.d/isdn start' to start up your connection.
73 -deactivate command
75 This option specifies a command to be executed when dial-on-
76 demand is active and you clicked on the xisdnload stripchart. A
77 typical command might be something like `sudo /etc/init.d/isdn
78 stop' to shut down your connection.
79 -manual With this option the interface is assumed to be active and in
81 manual dial mode. The activate/deactive commands are selected
82 depending on the connection state. A typical activate command
83 might be `isdnctrl dial ippp0', and to deactivate `isdnctrl
84 hangup ippp0'.
85 -number regexp
87 The supplied regular expression is used to limit the set num‐
88 bers to be observed by xisdnload.
89
91 See the resource file for the available resources.
92
94 In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
95 the widgets which compose xisdnload. In the notation below, indenta‐
96 tion indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given
97 first, followed by the widget instance name.
98 XISDNLoad xisdnload
100 Paned paned
101 Label label
102 StripChart load
103
106 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
107 XENVIRONMENT
109 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
110 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
111
113 <XRoot>/lib/X11/app-defaults/XISDNLoad - specifies required resources.
114 /proc/net/route - kernel routing table. The proc filesystem is needed
115 by xisdnload to detect wheather a dial-on-demand is active.
116
118 X(1), xrdb(1), xload(1), mem(4), Athena StripChart Widget.
119
121 Certainly a lot.

124 This program is based on xload which is Copyright (1988) X Consortium.
125 See X(1) for a full statement of rights and permissions.
126
128 Besides the basic xload stuff, the ISDN parts are added by
129 Frank Strauss <strauss@escape.de> (escape e.V., Braunschweig, Germany).
130 In January 1998 Michael Deindl <olmur@dwarf.bb.bawue.de> contributed
131 the `yellow' patch to make xisdnload recognize the phase of trying to
132 connect and show this by a different background color. Markus
133 Pilzecker <mp@timesink.pilzecker.de> detected a bug in the color
134 assignment code resulting in seg faults which has been fixed in January
135 1998.
