CPU stuff: st = Steal in % [see man proc] (extended) Color: Red gt = Guest in % [see man proc] (extended) Color: Red sr = Soft IRQ usage in % (extended) Color: White ir = IRQ usage in % (extended) Color: White io = IOwait cpu sage in % Color: Purple id = Idle cpu usage in % (extended) Color: Black ni = Nice cpu usage in % Color: Green us = User cpu usage in % Color: Yellow, dark yellow if to>50%, orange if to>50% sy = System cpu sage in % Blue, lighter blue if >30% to = Total CPU usage, which is (100% - id) pk = Max us+sy peak of last avg. samples (extended) avg = System load average; desc. order: 1, 5 and 15 min. avg. 1px horizontal line: Maximum sy+us+io of last 'avg' samples (extended) Extended means: text display only if extended mode is turned on Memory stuff: Ram: System ram usage in % Color: Dark grey Swp: System swap usage in % Color: Grey Config file support: Loadbars tries to read ~/.loadbarsrc and it's possible to configure any option you find in --help but without leading '--'. For comments just use the '#' sign. Sample config: showcores=1 # Always show cores on startup showtext=0 # Always don't display text on startup extended=1 # Always use extended mode on startup will always show all CPU cores in extended mode but no text display. Examples: loadbars --extended 1 --showcores 1 --height 300 --hosts localhost loadbars --hosts localhost,server1.example.com,server2.example.com loadbars --cluster foocluster (foocluster is in /etc/clusters [ClusterSSH]) --average - Num of samples for avg. (more fluent animations) --barwidth - Set bar width --cluster - Cluster name from /etc/clusters --extended - Toggle extended display (0 or 1) --factor - Set graph scale factor (1.0 means 100%) --height - Set windows height --hosts - Comma sep. list of hosts; optional: user@ in front to each host --maxwidth - Set max width --samples - Set number of samples until ssh reconnects --showcores - Toggle core display (0 or 1) --showmem - Toggle mem display (0 or 1) --showtexthost - Toggle hostname/num text display (0 or 1) --showtext - Toggle text display (0 or 1) --sshopts - Set SSH options
