BUBBLEFISHYMON(1)					      General Commands Manual						 BUBBLEFISHYMON(1)

NAME

       bubblefishymon - system load meter with ducks and fish

SYNOPSIS

       bubblefishymon [options] [program] [program]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bubblefishymon command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.

       bubblefishymon is a dockapp-style system monitor for CPU, memory, swap, load average and network traffic.  Based on wmfishtime(1) and  bub-
       blemon, this program has been considerably improved over the parent code.

       The  higher  the  water	level, the more memory is in use.  The more profuse the bubbles, the higher the CPU usage.  Fish represent network
       traffic direction and speed.

       When the mouse is moved into the window, the display will change to chow the load history, or, if the right Shift key is held, the  current
       memory  usage.	If  you press the right mouse button, the window will freeze in that state until you move the mouse out then back into the
       window.

       program1 and program2 are the programs to spawn when either the left or middle mouse buttons are pressed, respectively.

OPTIONS

       -d     disable swimming duck.

       -u     disable upside-down duck.

       -f     disable fish.

       -c     disable CPU meter.

       -m     disable memory screen.

       -p     use alternate colour scheme in memory info screen.

       -k     display memory and swap statistics in megabytes.

       -n[iface]
	      fish represents network traffic [on <iface>].

       -t     draw the clock too.

       -h     display help.
