NAME

       wmppp - Graphically monitor the average PPP load

SYNOPSIS

       wmppp [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       -t     sets the on-line timer to display MM:SS instead of the default HH:MM.

       -u <update rate>
              sets the frequency, in seconds, for updates to the display.  Valid range is 1-10, default value is

       -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 report connection speed

       -start <cmd>
              command to connect

       -stop <cmd>
              command to disconnect

       -ifdown <cmd>
              command to redial

       -stampfile <path>

       -h     displays a command line summary

       -v     displays the version number.

CONFIGURATION

       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.

FILES

       /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
