NAME

       xsysinfo - Display Linux kernel parameters in graphical form

SYNOPSIS

       xsysinfo [-help] [-update n] [-[no]title] [-[no]labels] [-[no]loadavg] [-[no]load] [-[no]mem] [-[no]swap]
       [-[no]smp]

DESCRIPTION

       Xsysinfo  is an X application to display some Linux kernel parameters in graphical form. It is like a mix
       of top, free and xload with the difference that the values are shown in form of  a  horizontal  bar.  The
       displayed values are: CPU load average, CPU load, memory and swap sizes (details see below).

       -nolabels
              Don't show gauge labels

       -loadavg
              Show CPU load average value

              Don't show CPU load average value

       -load  Show CPU load value

       -noload
              Don't show CPU load value

       -smp   Show separate SMP loads

       -nosmp Don't show separate SMP loads.

       -mem   Show memory info

       -nomem Don't show memory info

       -swap  Show swap info

       -noswap
              Don't show swap info

       -help  Display options

DISPLAY

       Xsysinfo display the following values:

       CPU load average
              CPU  load  average  between  0.000-8.000.  The  gauge's bar is subdivided into segments, where one
              segment represents a load value of 1.0. The bar's full length is automatically  scaled,  depending
              on the displayed value.

       CPU load
              percentage CPU load time to CPU idle time subdivided in three segments: user load, system load and
              nice  load.  On an SMP system the -smp option replaces the single total load meter with a separate
              meter for each processor.

       Memory The memory gauge's bar is subdivided into two segments with the amount of physical  memory,  which
              is  used  by  processes  on the left and physical memory used for the page and buffer cache on the
              right. The length of the whole bar, which is the sum of these two  values,  shows  the  amount  of
              physical memory currently used by the system.

       Swap   The percentage of swap space used by the system to total amount of swap space.
