swanson@ukfsn.orgDescription
wmfire is flaming dock app which can monitor your cpu, memory, network or a file.
o Left click to change the status monitor (unless locked)
o Middle click to hide/show nice'd process on cpu load
o Right click to change flame colour (unless locked)
o Mouse wheel up or down is the same as left click
On mouse over the cursor will disappear and be replaced by a burning spot at that location. After two
seconds symbols will be burnt to represent what is being monitored. For cpu, a short solid bar represents
average load or a line of dots representing the current cpu number on SMP systems. For the memory, a grid
of dots is used to signify a memory array. For the network, a line of marching dots is like data passing
through a cable. For file values, a spinning disk platter is shown.
(Not all window managers support all mouse over effects.)
Examples
wmfire-F/tmp/file-L40-H60-ieth2-s1000M
Name
wmfire - Fiery dock app monitor
Notes
The file monitoring will only read the first value in a file. For complex parsing use an external program
to read the required value and write it to the same file wmfire is set to read.
