NAME

       wmppp - Graphically monitor the average PPP load

SYNOPSIS

       wmppp [-display <display name>] [-t] [-u <update rate>] [-i <device>] [-h] [-v]

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.

OPTIONS

       -display <display name>
	      name of display to use

       -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 5.

       -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.)

       -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.

       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  <stamp-
	      file> should be run for this to work.

FILES

       /var/run/wmppp.ppp0
	      this  is	the  stamp file use to determine the ammount 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
