# mgm(1)

A gaudy system load meter

## NAME

mgm — A gaudy system load meter

## SYNOPSIS

**mgm**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **mgm** command.  **mgm** is a highly configurable system  load meter, written using Perl/Tk.  All of its configuration is  done via X resources; see the manual for information.

This manual page was written for the **Debian GNU/Linux** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.  See **/usr/share/doc/mgm/html/docs.html** in the  **mgm-doc** package, or the  *MGM Web page (link to URL http://www.xiph.org/mgm)*        for the complete documentation.

This manual page was written by David Z Maze dmaze@debian.org for  the **Debian GNU/Linux** system (but may be used by others).
