XLOAD(1)							      XLOAD(1)

NAME
       xload - system load average display for X

SYNOPSIS
       xload [-toolkitoption  ...]  [-scale  integer]  [-update	 seconds] [-hl
       color] [-highlight color]  [-remote host]
	     [-jumpscroll pixels] [-label string] [-nolabel] [-lights]

DESCRIPTION
       The xload program displays a periodically  updating  histogram  of  the
       system load average.

OPTIONS
       Xload  accepts  all of the standard X Toolkit command line options (see
       X(7)).  The order of the options in unimportant.	  xload	 also  accepts
       the following additional options:

       -hl color or -highlight color
	       This option specifies the color of the scale lines.

       -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.

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

       -lights When specified, this option causes xload to display the current
	       load average by using the keyboard leds; for a load average  of
	       n,  xload  lights the first n keyboard leds.  This option turns
	       off the usual screen display.

       -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, xload  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	 xload
	       updates	its  display.	The  minimum  amount  of  time allowed
	       between updates is 1 second.  The default is 10.

       -remote host
	       This option tells xload to display the load of host instead  of
	       localhost.  Xload  gets the information from the rwhod database
	       and consequently requires rwhod to be executing both on	local‐
	       host and host.

RESOURCES
       In  addition  to the resources available to each of the widgets used by
       xload 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 xload.  In the notation below, indentation
       indicates hierarchical structure.   The	widget	class  name  is	 given
       first, followed by the widget instance name.

       XLoad  xload
	    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
       /etc/X11/app-defaults/XLoad
	      specifies required resources

BUGS
       This program requires the ability to open and read the  special	system
       file  /dev/kmem.	  Sites	 that do not allow general access to this file
       should make xload belong to the same group as /dev/kmem and turn on the
       set group id permission flag.

       Reading	/dev/kmem  is inherently non-portable.	Therefore, the routine
       used to read it (get_load.c) must be ported to each new operating  sys‐
       tem.
