22 wmmon \- Window Maker dockapp for monitoring system information
34 monitors the realtime CPU load as well as the average system load,
35 and gives you some nice additional features too. It is intended for
36 docking in Window Maker.
38 It currently provides:
41 a realtime CPU stress meter;
43 an auto-scaled average system load meter, like
48 a realtime disk I/O stress meter;
50 auto-scaled disk I/O load meter;
52 realtime memory and swap usage meters;
54 a display for system uptime;
56 three user-defined commands to launch.

95 Show help information.
99 Print the version number.
