19 \fBwmppp.app\fP displays a dynamic representation of the load on the
20 PPP line on a 64x64 miniwindow. It also starts and stops the
21 connection and displays the time enlapsed since the it came up. The
22 traffic on the interface is also monitored.
25 .B \-display <display\ name>
26 name of display to use
29 sets the on-line timer to display MM:SS instead of the default HH:MM.
32 sets the frequency, in seconds, for updates to the display. Valid
33 range is 1-10, default value is 5.
36 choose the net device (ppp1, ippp0, etc.) to monitor. (Note that this
37 feature is EXPERIMENTAL and should be used with caution. Bug reports
41 displays a command line summary
44 displays the version number.
46 The configuration file (see below) may contain any of the following
47 key-value pairs. The format is \fIkey: value\fP.
50 The program that starts the connection
53 The program that stops the connection
56 This program reports the speed of the connection. This program should
57 output \fI<speed>\fP, that is, a \fInumber\fP is expected and not the
58 whole \"CONNECT\" line the modem outputs.
61 This program is run if the line goes down, and the \fIstop\fP program
62 hasn't been run. (Redial program)
65 The modification time of this file is used to calculate the amount of
66 time the connection has been up. Something like \fItouch <stampfile>\fP
67 should be run for this to work.
70 /var/run/wmppp.\fIppp0\fP
71 this is the stamp file use to determine the ammount of time enlapsed
72 since the connection came up. This file should be managed by the ip-up
73 and ip-down scripts. On Debian systems, \fI/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00wmppp\fP
74 creates the file, and \fI/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00wmppp\fP removes it.
83 System wide fixed options, this overrides the user settings
