Overview
Xmcpustate displays bars showing the percentage of time the CPU spends in different states.
On a machine running Berkeley Unix, or a derivative (Suns with SunOS, microVaxen with Ultrix), the bar indicates the proportions of idle, user, nice, and system time with increasing levels of gray scale (from left to right)
On an Iris4D, there may be more than one bar, one for each CPU, and each bar indicates the proportions of idle + wait, user, kernel, sxbrk and interrupt time for each cpu.
On a Cray X/MP or Y/MP, under Unicos 5.1 or greater, it will display bars for as many cpus as are configured. The proportions of idle, user and system time are shown for each cpu.
On Linux, it will display 4 separate bars: CPU, Memory, Swap and Ethernet load.
Options
Xmcpustate accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, plus:
-
-count iterations -
The number of times it should update the display. Default is forever.
-
-interval seconds -
the interval in between updates. Default is 1 second.
-
-barwidth pixels -
the width of a displayed status bar. Default is 350 pixels.
-
-barheight pixels -
the height of a displayed status bar. Default is 20 pixels.
-
-idlecol color -
the color to use for idle. Default is green.
-
-usercol color -
the color to use for user space. Default is magenta.
-
-kernelcol color -
the color to use for kernel space. Default is yellow.
-
-nicecol color -
the color to use for nice. Default is DarkRed.
-
-systemcol color -
the color to use for system space. Default is black.
A color must be given by it's symbolic name.
X defaults
For xmcpustate the available class identifiers are:
xmcpustate - the application Form - enclosing the entire application, and sub-Forms enclosing Label/Bar pairs.
The default font list is lucida bold at 12pt. The default background color is SlateBlue.
For xmcpustate, the available name identifiers are:
xmcpustate - application name The outer Form is "form". The Forms enclosing the Label/Bar pairs are "formN", where N is the index number, starting with the top pair as zero. Each Label name is the same as the label string. Each Bar name is "barN". The form enclosing the colored labels is "colorLegend"
For xmcpustate, the available resources are:
name interval, class Interval
|
corresponds to the -interval option. Takes an integer value. |

|
corresponds to the -count argument, also takes and integer value. |
name barwidth, class Barwidth
|
corresponds to the -barwidth option. Takes an integer value. |
name barheight, class Barheight

corresponds to the -nicecol option. Takes a string value. |
name systemcol, class Systemcol
|
corresponds to the -systemcol option. Takes a string value. |
Notes
Xmcpustate is derived from Xcpustate Xcpustate was designed for a multiprocessor (a Silicon Graphics Iris4D/240) - it happens to work for conventional BSD uniprocessors. It is meant to be easy to port, and extend to monitor a wide variety of statistics.
