NAME
sysmon, vismon - display system statistics
SYNOPSIS
sysmon [ -n ] [ -m ] [ system ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Sysmon monitors use of one or more UNIX systems. It displays time of
day, announcements, and CPU usage statistics.
CPU usage is reported as a numerical load average (average number of
runnable processes) and its change in the last minute, and a bar graph
showing, left-to-right, the proportion of CPU time spent in: default-
priority user processes, low priority (nice) processes, system kernel,
stream I/O, and idle time.
Arrival of mail or communications via wall(1) or write(1) is announced.
Communications appear in a shell (sh(1)) layer superimposed on sysmon's
layer. This layer may be used for reply.
The options are:
-n Update the bar graph every n seconds. (n=5 by default.)
-m Do not monitor CPU usage on other systems.
Vismon is the same as sysmon, but identifies mail sources by picture as
well as by name.
FILES
/usr/jerq/mbin/sysmon.m terminal program

DIAGNOSTICS
`Can't open comm window' means a shell layer cannot be created. To re‐
ceive any further communications, delete some layer.
