dxsysinfo - Monitors system information such as CPU activity,
memory, swap space, and file system usage
/usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo [options]
Displays the CPU Activity meter. Shrinks the window so
that only the General Information area is visible. The
-dashview option is ignored when it conflicts with other
options or when all of the components in the General
Information area were deselected in a previous invocation
of the System Information application. This option is
incompatible with the -fs option. If -dashview is specified
with -fs, -dashview is ignored. Displays the File
System area. Displays warning lights for file systems and
swap space that have exceeded the recommended threshold.
Displays the In-Use Memory meter. Displays the Available
Swap meter.
When these options are used on the command line, only the
specified parts of the application are displayed.
A user preferences file is created in the user's home
directory the first time the application runs. It records
user-specified options and any customizations made while
running the application. If any of the command line
options other than the -dashview option are used, the System
Information application does not read the View state
settings in the user preferences file. If the -dashview
option is used on the command line without any other
options, the application reads the View state settings in
the user preferences file, $HOME/.sysman/Dxsysinfo.
System Information accepts all of the standard X Toolkit
command line options, which are documented in the X(1X)
reference page.
