SYNOPSIS

wmforkplop [options]

DESCRIPTION

wmforkplop is a program that monitors the forking activity of the kernel and displays a list of the most CPU-consuming processes. Although primarily aimed at Windowmaker, it will run on any window manager, either as a dockapp or as a standard X11 application.

Option list:

-h, --help

print this.

-v, --verbose

increase verbosity

-V, --version

print version --fontpath path add a new directory to the font search directory list

  • default: --fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/truetype (and subdirectories)

--fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/ttf

(and subdirectories)

--fontpath=$HOME/.fonts

(and subdirectories)

--font

fontname/size Set the 'small font' name/size in pixel (default: --smallfont=Vera/6 The font name are case-sensitive, and must correspound to the name of a .ttf file which can be found in one of the fontpaths By default, wmforkplop tries to load the following fonts:

  • * Vera/6, DejaVuSansMono/6, Andale_Mono/6, Verdana/6, Trebuchet_MS/7 -c n, --colormap=n

  • select colormap number n (0 <= n <= 5) -g[=WxH+x+y], --geometry[=WxH+x+y]

  • start in window (i.e. undocked) mode with specified geometry (i.e -g 96x32 or -g 64x64+0+0) --32, --48, --56

  • start in a reduced dockapp, for people whose dock is too small too contain 64x64 dockapps --no-top

  • disable the wmtop feature, you will only see the fork animation. --no-fork

  • disable the fork animation, you will only see the list of top processes. --threshold=n

  • minimum CPU consumption (%) of a process listed in the top-list (default 3%) -u n, --proc-update-delay=n

  • set the delay between two reads of /proc, the default is 150 (milliseconds). Setting a small value gives accurate results, but consumes more CPU as reading /proc is quite expensive.

See /usr/share/doc/wmforkplop/README.gz for more details.
