WMIFS(1) General Commands Manual WMIFS(1)NAME
wmifs - a dockable network traffic monitor
SYNOPSIS
wmifs [-d <display name>] [-i <interface name>] [-l] [-w] [-h] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
WMiFS is a dockable applet for X11 that can monitor all your network interfaces. It's designed for WindowMaker's Dock and AfterStep's
Wharf, but it's not dependant on these window managers and should work with any other. It can display the net load using a standard bar
graph or using a waveform mode. It also displays the state of the interface with a group of leds. Clicking on the interface name will
cycle to the next interface in the system. Users can define commands to be executed when the different mouse buttons are pressed on the
main window.
OPTIONS -h Show summary of options.
-v Show version of the program.
-d <display name>
Use an alternate X display.
-i <interface name>
Interface that should come up initially when executing wmifs. If you use "auto" as interface name, the first active ("up") inter-
face will be used.
-I <interval>
Sampling interval, in seconds (default: 0.05).
-l Starts wmifs in lock mode. Useful if combined with -i, if you want to monitor a, for example, ppp device which isn't up when wmifs
is started. It won't switch to the next available interface.
-s <interval>
Scrolling interval, in seconds (default: 5)
-w Use the waveform graph instead of the classic one.

WMBiff - A dockable Mailbox Monitor
SYNOPSIS
wmbiff [-display <display name>] [-geometry +XPOS+YPOS] [-c <filename>] [-h] [-v] [-debug]
DESCRIPTION
WMbiff displays the status of up to five mailboxes. It gives information about new mail, if any, or total number of messages. It also has
mail retrieval capabilies, and can be configured to do this automatically. At the moment, UNIX-style, maildir, POP3, APOP and IMAP4 mail-
boxes are supported. WMbiff also supports Licq history files and gnomeicu, displaying the number of new messages in your running session,
as if they were mail.
The mailboxes are displayed in 5 different lines, each one with its own description of up to five chars. If no mail is present in a given
mailbox, WMbiff will display the total number of mails in cyan. If there's new mail in the box, the number of new messages will be dis-
played in yellow. When new mail arrives, this number will optionally flash for a small period of time, and also optionally, a command can
be executed on mail arrival (for example, opening your mail reader or playing a sound file).
Pressing mouse button 1 will execute a command, defined in the user's config file. Mouse button 3 will execute a command to fetch mail, if
defined.
OPTIONS -h Show summary of options.
-v Show version of program.
-display <display name>
Use an alternate X Display.
-geometry <geometry>
Initial window position.
-c <filename>
Use specified config file.
-debug Print verbose log of progress.
