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.
