man jmon (Commandes) - jMon distributed resource monitor client

NAME

jmon - jMon distributed resource monitor client

SYNOPSIS

jmon [c -f rcfilec ]

DESCRIPTION

jmon is the client part of the jMon Distributed Resource Monitor. The jmon client creates a TCP/IP connection to the jmond(8) daemon running on each of the hosts that are to be monitored.

The client displays CPU, memory and swap usage on the host machines. The amount of resources consumed is displayed as a horizontal bar, ranging between 0% and 100%. Where the terminal is capable of colour, a load between 0% and 33% is indicated in green, 33% to 66% in yellow, and 66%+ in red.

With a long list of hosts on display, it is possible to scroll through the list using the cursor keys, or simply resize the window in X.

OPTIONS

-f rcfile
This parameter specifies the rcfile to be used. This parameter is optional, with the default being .jmonrc in the user's home directory, or failing that, /etc/jmonrc.

CONFIGURATION FILE

The configuration file is a text file with the following format:

hostname port

The hostname and port are space delimited, with multiple hosts specified on separate lines, e.g.:

wintermute.dsp.sun.ac.za 7777 saiph.dsp.sun.ac.za 7777

By default the configuration is read from $HOME/.jmonrc or /etc/jmonrc if the first does not exist. It is possible to specify an alternative rcfile, using the -f parameter.

FILES

/usr/bin/jmon

$HOME/.jmonrc

NOTES

jmon does NOT support comments in the files above.
