NAME

jmon - jMon distributed resource monitor client

SYNOPSIS

jmon [-f rcfile]

DESCRIPTION

jmon is the client part of the jMon Distributed Resource

Monitor. The jmon client creates a TCP/IP connection to the

jmond(8) daemon running on each of the hosts that are to be moni

tored.

The client displays CPU, memory and swap usage on the host

machines. The amount of resources consumed is displayed as a hor

izontal bar, ranging between 0% and 100%. Where the terminal is

capable of colour, a load between 0% and 33% is indicated in

green, 33% to 66% in yellow, and 66%+ in red.

With a long list of hosts on display, it is possible to

scroll through the list using the cursor keys, or simply resize

the window in X.

This parameter is optional, with the default being .jmonrc in the
