Sysmonitor - Client application for Peep: The Network Auralizer.
Sysmonitor is a client for Peep which monitors system performance statistics such as uptime, load, memory usage, etc. and translates them into a Peep "state".
States are broadcast to the Peep server, peepd, which then translates the state into an aural signal such as running water or a chirping bird.
This application is a part of Peep and requires that the Peep Perl modules have been installed.
system supports the following command-line options:
--loadsound=[STRING]
--usersound=[STRING]
--loadloc=[STRING]
--userloc=[STRING]
--maxload=[NUMBER]
--maxuser=[NUMBER]
--sleep=[NUMBER] The amount of time to sleep (in seconds) between iterations
of checking system functions
In addition, the following options are common to all Peep clients:
--config=[PATH] Path to the configuration file to use
--debug=[NUMBER] Enable debugging. (Def: 0)
--nodaemon Do not run in daemon mode
--pidfile=[PATH] The file to write the pid out to (Def: /var/run/sysmonitor.pid)
--output=[PATH] The file to log logparser output to (Def: stderr)
--noautodiscovery Disables autodiscovery and enables the server and port options
--server=[HOST] The host (or IP address) to connect to
--port=[PORT NO] The port to use
--silent Does not produce output. To eliminate all output,
either the debug option should be set to 0 or
an output file should be specified.
--help Prints a simple help message
