xsysinfo - Display Linux kernel parameters in graphical form
Contents
Description
Xsysinfo is an X application to display some Linux kernel parameters in graphical form. It is like a mix
of top, free and xload with the difference that the values are shown in form of a horizontal bar. The
displayed values are: CPU load average, CPU load, memory and swap sizes (details see below).
Display
Xsysinfo display the following values:
CPUloadaverage
CPU load average between 0.000-8.000. The gauge's bar is subdivided into segments, where one
segment represents a load value of 1.0. The bar's full length is automatically scaled, depending
on the displayed value.
CPUload
percentage CPU load time to CPU idle time subdivided in three segments: user load, system load and
nice load. On an SMP system the -smp option replaces the single total load meter with a separate
meter for each processor.
Memory The memory gauge's bar is subdivided into two segments with the amount of physical memory, which
is used by processes on the left and physical memory used for the page and buffer cache on the
right. The length of the whole bar, which is the sum of these two values, shows the amount of
physical memory currently used by the system.
Swap The percentage of swap space used by the system to total amount of swap space.
