SYNOPSIS
wmfire [-c CPU] [-f COLOUR] [-F FILE] [-g GEOMETRY] [-h] [-H MAX] [-i INTERFACE] [-l] [-L MIN] [-m] [-n] [-p] [-s SPEED] [-x] [-y]
DESCRIPTION
wmfire is flaming dock app which can monitor your cpu, memory, network or a file.
o
Left click to change the status monitor (unless locked)
o
Middle click to hide/show nice'd process on cpu load
o
Right click to change flame colour (unless locked)
o
Mouse wheel up or down is the same as left click
On mouse over the cursor will disappear and be replaced by a burning spot at that location. After two seconds symbols will be burnt to represent what is being monitored. For cpu, a short solid bar represents average load or a line of dots representing the current cpu number on SMP systems. For the memory, a grid of dots is used to signify a memory array. For the network, a line of marching dots is like data passing through a cable. For file values, a spinning disk platter is shown.
(Not all window managers support all mouse over effects.)

- -r
- [...] Change resource name (default:wmfire)
- -s [...][K|M]
-
Change the network speed - kilobytes or megabytes

EXAMPLES
wmfire -F /tmp/file -L 40 -H 60 -i eth2 -s 1000M
NOTES
The file monitoring will only read the first value in a file. For complex parsing use an external program to read the required value and write it to the same file wmfire is set to read.
