NAME

       saidar - a curses-based tool for viewing system statistics

SYNOPSIS

       saidar [-d delay] [-c] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       saidar is a curses-based tool for viewing the system statistics available through libstatgrab. Statistics
       include CPU, processes, load, memory, swap, network I/O, disk I/O, and file system information.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported.

       -d DELAY
              Wait DELAY seconds between updates (default 3)

       -c     Enables coloured output

       -v     Prints the version number

       -h     Display help and exits

COLOURED OUTPUT

       When  the  -c option is used saidar uses colours to display the data. Each area has a different colour to
       distinguish it from the nearby fields. Bold and reverse video effects are used to emphasis  fields  where
       necessary.

       The  load  average  figures are displayed in bold when they're notably (greater that 1) different to each
       other. This purely shows that a change in the load is occurring.

       When CPU usage goes over 60% it will be displayed in bold.  At 90% the field is displayed  using  reverse
       video. Likewise for memory, swap and disk usage at 75% and 90%. Zombie processes are also highlighted.

       Other values (paging, disk I/O and network I/O) are not highlighted due to the nature of the values; it's
       not easy to determine what thresholds are significant.
