Expert's guide to configuring Conky

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:00:00 GMT
When it comes to monitoring your Linux system, few tools can rival Conky. This lightweight system monitoring utility can help you to keep an eye on virtually any aspect of your system, and it offers a huge list of options to choose from. But this flexibility comes at a price: all Conky's settings are stored in the .conkyrc file, which you have to create and tweak manually. The good news is that once you understand the inner workings of the .conkyrc file, you can easily create powerful Conky configuration profiles.

pmc -- performance-monitoring counter interface for command execution SYNOPSIS
pmc -h pmc -C pmc -c event command [options ...] DESCRIPTION
pmc is a means of using a processor's performance-monitoring counter (PMC) facility to measure various aspects of a program's execution. It is meant to be used in a fashion similar to time(1). The arguments are as follows: -h Display a list of performance counter events available on the system. -C Cancel any performance counters that are currently running. -c event Count the event specified by event while running the command. DIAGNOSTICS
PMC support is not compiled into the kernel Performance-monitoring counter support has not been compiled into the kernel. It may be included using the PERFCTRS option. See options(4) for details. PMC counters are not supported by CPU Performance-monitoring counters are not available for the CPU. SEE ALSO
time(1), options(4) HISTORY
The pmc command first appeared in NetBSD 1.6. AUTHORS
The pmc command was written by Frank van der Linden <fvdl@wasabisystems.com>. The kernel support for reading performance counters on the i386 architecture was written by Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@zembu.com>. BUGS
