# xisdnload(1)

ISDN load average display for X

## NAME

xisdnload - ISDN load average display for X

## SYNOPSIS

**xisdnload**	\[-*toolkitoption* ...\] \[-scale *integer*\] \[-update *seconds*\] \[-hl *color*\] \[-highlight *color*\] \[-online *color*\]\
\
 	\[-jumpscroll *pixels*\] \[-label *string*\] \[-nolabel\]

## DESCRIPTION

The  *xisdnload* program displays a periodically updating histogram of the ISDN load average.

## OPTIONS

*Xisdnload* accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options (see *X(1)*). The order of the options in unimportant.  *xisdnload also accepts the* *following additional options:*

- **-hl *color* or -highlight *color***

  *This option specifies the color of the scale lines.*

- **-online *color***

  *This option specifies the background color when one or more ISDN* *channels are online.*

- **-jumpscroll number of pixels**

  *The number of pixels to shift the graph to the left when the graph* *reaches the right edge of the window.  The default value is 1/2 the width* *of the current window.  Smooth scrolling can be achieved by setting it to 1.*

- **-label *string***

  *The string to put into the label above the load average when beeing* *online. It is interpreted as a standard format string and may contain* *the dialed number (%s), the minutes (%d) and seconds (%d) being* *online, the actual cps rate (%f) and the amount of kbytes transfered* *(%d) in this sequence.*

- **-nolabel**

  *If this command line option is specified then no label will be* *displayed above the load graph.*

- **-scale *integer***

  *This option specifies the minimum number of tick marks in the histogram,* *where one division represents one load average point.  If the load goes* *above this number, xisdnload will create more divisions, but it will never* *use fewer than this number.  The default is 1.*

- **-update *seconds***

  *This option specifies the interval in seconds at which xisdnload* *updates its display.  The minimum amount of time allowed between updates* *is 1 second.  The default is 10.*

## RESOURCES

*In addition to the resources available to each of the widgets used by*  *xisdnload there is one resource defined by the application itself.*

- **showLabel (class Boolean)**

  *If False then no label will be displayed.*

## WIDGETS

*In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of* *the widgets which compose xisdnload*.  In the notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

```
XISDNLoad  xisdnload
	    Paned  paned
		    Label  label
		    StripChart  load
```

## ENVIRONMENT

- **DISPLAY**

  to get the default host and display number.

- **XENVIRONMENT**

  to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE\_MANAGER property.

## FILES
