XCPUSTATE(1)             USER COMMANDS               XCPUSTATE(1)



NAME
     xcpustate - display CPU states (idle, nice, system,  kernel)
     statistics

SYNTAX
     xcpustate  [-_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n  ...]  [-_c_o_u_n_t   iterations]   [-
     _i_n_t_e_r_v_a_l seconds]

DESCRIPTION
     _X_c_p_u_s_t_a_t_e 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.

OPTIONS
     _X_c_p_u_s_t_a_t_e accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
     options, plus:

     -_c_o_u_n_t iterations
             The number of times it should  update  the  display.
             Default is forever.

     -_i_n_t_e_r_v_a_l seconds
             the  interval  in  between  updates.  Default  is  1
             second.

X DEFAULTS
     For _x_c_p_u_s_t_a_t_e the available class identifiers are:

     CPUStateMonitor - the application
     Form - enclosing the entire application, and sub-Forms enclosing
     Label/Bar pairs.

     For _x_c_p_u_s_t_a_t_e, the available name identifiers are:

     xcpustate - 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".

XCPUSTATE(1)             USER COMMANDS               XCPUSTATE(1)



     name interval, class Interval
          corresponds to the -interval option. Takes  an  integer
          value.

     name count, class Count
          corresponds to the  -count  argument,  also  takes  and
          integer value.

NOTES
     _X_c_p_u_s_t_a_t_e 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.
