wmppp - Graphically monitor the average PPP load

wmppp.app  was  written  by MartijnPieterse<pieterse@xs4all.nl> and AntoineNulle<warp@xs4all.nl>, and
       it's  based  on  work  by  BeatChristen<bchriste@iiic.ethz.ch>   (asclock)   and   MichaelCallahan<callahan@maths.ox.ac.uk>,      AlLongyearlongyear@netcom.com      and     PaulMackerras<Paul.Mackerras@cs.anu.edu.au> (pppstats).

       This manpage was written by MarceloMagallon<mmagallo@debian.org for the DebianProject

       The  configuration  file (see below) may contain any of the following key-value pairs. The format is key:value.  Note that these values will be overwritten by the corresponding command line options.

       start  The program that starts the connection

       stop   The program that stops the connection

       speed  This program reports the speed of the connection. This program should output <speed>, that  is,  a
              number is expected and not the whole

       ifdown This program is run if the line goes down, and the stop program hasn't been run. (Redial program)

       stampfile
              The modification time of this file is used to calculate the amount of time the connection has been
              up. Something like touch<stampfile> should be run for this to work.

wmppp.app  displays  a  dynamic representation of the load on the PPP line on a 64x64 miniwindow. It also
       starts and stops the connection and displays the time enlapsed since the it came up. The traffic  on  the
       interface is also monitored.

       /var/run/wmppp.ppp0
              this  is the stamp file use to determine the amount of time enlapsed since the connection came up.
              This file should be managed by the ip-up and ip-down  scripts.  On  Debian  systems,  /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00wmppp creates the file, and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00wmppp removes it.

       /etc/wmppprc
              System wide defaults

       $HOME/.wmppprc
              User defined settings

       /etc/wmppprc.fixed
              System wide fixed options, this overrides the user settings

       -i<device>
              choose the net device (ppp1, ippp0, etc.) to monitor.  (Note that this feature is EXPERIMENTAL and
              should be used with caution.  Bug reports are welcomed.)

       -speed<cmd>

              command to redial

       -stampfile<path>
              file used to calculate uptime

       -h     displays a command line summary

       -v     displays the version number.
