ProcMeter  Displays  one  or  more  pieces of information about the operating system and other resources.
       Most of the information that is displayed comes from the /proc filesystem.  The program  is  modular  and
       very configurable.

       The modules that are available for procmeter3-log are described in the procmeter3_modules(1) manual page.

       The command line options are described below.

       -h     Provides  a  help  message  listing  the  available outputs.  This will be different for different
              computers depending on the Linux kernel version that is being used and the hardware/software  that
              is configured.

       --rc=<filename>
              Load the specified .procmeterrc file in stead of the searching in the usual places.

       --...  A  list of configuration file options that will override the values in the .procmeterrc file.  The
              format of these options is (for example) --library.path=/usr/local/procmeter3 which is  equivalent
              to the entry in the .procmeterrc file of

               [library]
               path = /usr/local/procmeter3

              All  spaces  around  the equal sign must be removed and if spaces are required in the value on the
              right hand side then quotes must be used around the entire command line option.

       ...    A list of names of outputs that are to be displayed.  This can include any of the outputs that are
              available (see the -h option).  For the CPU usage is in a module named Statistics with  an  output
              named  CPU  and  there  are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar (-b) options.  Since this version of the
              program does not display anything, but logs the data to a file it does not  matter  which  one  is
              chosen.  To store the CPU usage data you would use the command line option Statistics.CPU-t

       When  started the program will log all of the requested information on the standard output (stdout).  The
       outputs that are displayed are those from the command line and those from the .procmeterrc  configuration
       file.
