DESCRIPTION
xosview is a monitor which displays the status of several system based parameters. These include CPU usage, memory usage, swap space usage. and network usage. Each of these is displayed as a horizontal bar which is separated into color coded regions. Each region represents a percentage of the resourcewhich is begin put to a particular use. Typing a 'q' in the window will terminate xosview. From top to bottom each bar displays: First Bar ( CPU Usage ):
   user time | nice time | system time | idle time Second Bar ( Memory Usage ):
   used | shared | buffers | free Third Bar ( Swap Usage ):
   used | free Fourth Bar only with -net option ( NET input ):
    packets/sec Fifth Bar only with -net option ( NET output ):
    packets/sec

OPTIONS
-l
    display legends as in geographical maps with boxes of colors corresponding the monitored resource and text in foreground color. You would use this option when the background is close in color to one of the legends, making it unreadable. When this option is not specified, there are no boxes and the text is in color corresponding the monitored resource.
-nf
    stands for no-free. eliminates the legend for the free resource (last one. This makes sense because it is obvious that the remainder is "free" ...
-net middle_val
    enables monitoring the network and specifies a scale factor. The scale is logarithmic and the given value is the middle of the scale, so the right side of the scale is infinity. a Typical value would be: -net 40.
-fg color
    foreground color, in standard X Windows format. This is the color of (some) legends and the scale's outline.
-bg color

    font to be used for legends. Default is 8x13bold
-geometry X*Y+x+y
