NAME

Sysmonitor - Client application for Peep: The Network Auralizer.

SYNOPSIS

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.

    --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

    --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
