NAME
      xtacho - load average tachometer for X

SYNOPSIS
      xtacho [-toolkitoption ...] [-update seconds] [-host hostname] [-mon
      monitor-item]

DESCRIPTION
      The xtacho program displays a updating tachometer of the system/usr/idle
      cpu load average.

OPTIONS
      Xtacho accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along
      with the following additional options:

      -update seconds
              This option specifies the frequency in seconds at which xtacho
              updates its display.  If the load average window is uncovered (by
              moving windows with a window manager or by the xrefresh program),
              the meter will be also be updated.  The minimum amount of time
              allowed between updates is 1 seconds (default is 3 seconds).

      -host host-name
              This option specifies the hostname which xtacho monitoring host.

      -mon monitor-item
              This option specifies the monitor item. The item are choose one
              in 'user' 'sys' 'idle'. The item 'user' is (which is default)
              monitor user cpu load average,and 'sys' is system cpu load.
              'idle' is cpu idling monitor in 0-100 percentage.

EXAMPLES
      Here is a simple example using xtacho

      dwarf% xtacho -update 1 -mon sys&
              Monitor system cpu load average of hostname "dwarf" by every
              seconds.

      goblin% xtacho -host elf -mon idle&
              Monitor idle cpu% of hostname "elf".

      sprite% xtacho -display dwarf:0 -rv -host wizard&
              Monitor user cpu load average of hostname "wizard" using display
              "dwarf:0".

SEE ALSO
      X(1), xperfmon(1), rstatd(8C), rstat(3R), X Toolkit Athena widgets.

BUGS
      This program requires the rpc service. The xtacho read remote host's cpu
      statics through rstatd. if running xtacho on host that not required rpc
      services, the xtacho does not work.
