PROCMETER V3.5d =============== The ProcMeter program itself is a framework on which a number of modules (plugins) are loaded. More modules can be written as required to perform more monitoring and informational functions. The statistics that are displayed are grouped by module, with a menu allowing selection of module and a sub-menu for each output available for that module. APM Advanced Power Management information. These outputs are only available if you have configured the kernel to have the APM feature. Biff Monitors the e-mail inbox (in /var/spool/mail/ or /var/mail/) and indicates the number of e-mails that are waiting and the size. Date_Time The current date and time and the amount of time since the system was last booted. DiskUsage Shows the percentage of the disk that is used and the amount of free space for each of the local disks that it finds are mounted or can be mounted when the program starts. LogFile Monitors the size and number of lines and the rate of increase of these in a set of log files. Memory The amount of memory that is used for programs, buffers, cache and the amount that is free. Network The network devices and the amount of traffic on each of them. It will automatically pick up available devices when it starts. Processes The load average and the number of processes running and starting. ProcMeter Information about the procmeter program itself. Sensors Information from hardware sensors for temperature and fan speed (simple version with fixed scaling). FanSpeed Information from hardware sensors for fan speed (requires libsensors library installed but does read sensors.conf file for system customisation). Temperature Information from hardware sensors for temperature (requires libsensors library installed but does read sensors.conf file for system customisation). Voltage Information from hardware sensors for voltages (requires libsensors library installed but does read sensors.conf file for system customisation). Statistics Low level system statistics. For example CPU usage, disk usage, swapping and paging. VM_Statistics Low level system statistics about virtual memory (swaping and paging) for kernel version 2.5 where the information has moved from the Statistics section. Stat-CPU Statistics about individual CPU usage including support for SMP machines. Stat-Disk Statistics about individual disk usage (bytes read and written), with version 2.6 kernels individual partition information is included. Stat-Intr Statistics about individual interrupts. Uname The system information from the uname program, hostname and Linux kernel version. Wireless Information about wireless network devices. It will automatically pick up available devices when it starts. Longrun For systems with the Transmeta Crueso processor, information about longrun. Will not work unless the kernel is compiled with CPUID support, and /dev/cpu/0/cpuid must be readable by procmeter. ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface information. These outputs are only available if you have enabled ACPI in the Linux kernel and you have the appropriate hardware. ACPI can report various information about a system's battery, and may also have thermal outputs available. CPUInfo Information about the CPUs in the system, currently only the CPU speed in MHz. Changes ------- Since version 3.5c: Bug Fixes Remove gcc-4.4 compilation warnings. Make error messages consistent. Fix several errors in manual pages. Don't crash if /proc/interrupts has very long lines. New features Added an option to limit the number of interrupts listed. Allow installation of stripped executables.
