NAME
     xperfmon - X window system Unix performance monitoring tool

SYNOPSIS
     xperfmon option [ option ] [ _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y ]

DESCRIPTION
     This program allows you to monitor the performance of Unix
     on a machine.  The information will be plotted graphically
     on a window.  The possible options are user cpu time (user),
     system cpu time (system), idle cpu time (idle), free memory
     (free), disk transfers (disk), interrupts (interrupts),
     input packets (input), output packets (output), collision
     packets (collision).  Any or all of these options can be
     specified at once.  By default, _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n displays all of
     these statistics.

     -bd _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the border color.  On monochrome displays,
             should be ``white'', ``black'', or ``gray''; gray is
             the default.

     -bg _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the background color.  On monochrome
             displays, should be ``white'' or ``black''; black is
             the default.

     -bw _p_i_x_e_l_s
             Specify the width in pixels of the border around the
             _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n window. The default value is 3 pixels.

     -fg _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the graph color.  On monochrome displays,
             should be ``white'' or ``black''; white is the
             default.

     -fn _f_o_n_t_n_a_m_e
             The hostname will be displayed in the specified font
             (if none is specified, this defaults to 6x10).

     -hl _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the hostname and scale line color; the
             default is to make it the same as the graph color.

     -rv     Cause _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n to produce all output in black-on-
             white instead of white-on-black.

     -fw     Cause _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n to produce all output in white-on-
             black instead of black-on-white.

     -scale _i_n_t_e_g_e_r
             Specify the minimum number of divisions on the graph

             (default 1).  _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n is free to use more divisions
             if the load gets too high to display, but it will
             never use fewer divisions than this.

     -u _s_e_c_o_n_d_s
             Set the update rate.

     =_g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y
             Allows you to position the window on the screen.
             See _X(_1) for a full description of geometry specifi-
             cations.

     [_h_o_s_t]:[_d_i_s_p_l_a_y]
             Normally, _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n gets the host and display number
             to use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''.
             Either or both can be specified with this option.
             _h_o_s_t specifies which machine to create the _x_p_e_r_f_m_o_n
             window on, and _d_i_s_p_l_a_y specifies the display number.
             For example, ``mit-grape-nehi:0'' creates an _x_p_e_r_f_-
             _m_o_n on display 0 on machine mit-grape-nehi. Either
             value can be defaulted by omission but `:' is neces-
             sary to specify one or both.
