wmforkplop1
Monitors forking activity and displays top cpu consuming processes.
Usage
wmforkplop [options]
Overview
wmforkplop is a program that monitors the forking activity of the kernel and displays a list of the most CPU-consuming processes. Although primarily aimed at Windowmaker, it will run on any window manager, either as a dockapp or as a standard X11 application.
Option list:
-
-h, --help -
print this.
-
-v, --verbose -
increase verbosity
-
-V, --version -
print version
--fontpath path add a new directory to the font search directory list
-
default:
--fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/truetype (and subdirectories)
-
--fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/ttf -
(and subdirectories)
-
--fontpath=$HOME/.fonts -
(and subdirectories)
-
--font -
fontname/size Set the 'small font' name/size in pixel (default:
--smallfont=Vera/6 The font name are case-sensitive, and must correspound to the name of a .ttf file which can be found in one of the fontpaths By default, wmforkplop tries to load the following fonts:
-
* Vera/6, DejaVuSansMono/6, Andale_Mono/6, Verdana/6, Trebuchet_MS/7
-c n, --colormap=n
-
select colormap number n (0 <= n <= 5)
-g[=WxH+x+y], --geometry[=WxH+x+y]
-
start in window (i.e. undocked) mode with specified geometry (i.e
-g96x32 or-g64x64+0+0)
--32, --48, --56
-
start in a reduced dockapp, for people whose dock is too small too contain 64x64 dockapps
--no-top
-
disable the wmtop feature, you will only see the fork animation.
--no-fork
-
disable the fork animation, you will only see the list of top processes.
--threshold=n
-
minimum CPU consumption (%) of a process listed in the top-list (default 3%)
-u n, --proc-update-delay=n
-
set the delay between two reads of /proc, the default is 150 (milliseconds). Setting a small value gives accurate results, but consumes more CPU as reading /proc is quite expensive.
See /usr/share/doc/wmforkplop/README.gz for more details.
