SYNOPSIS
     xload [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     The program xload continuously displays the system load
     average under the X window system, creating a window in
     which the load average is represented as a bar graph with n
     divisions. Each division represents one unit of load
     average.  The name of the host is displayed in the upper
     left corner.

     The program xload understands the following options:

     -bd color
             Specify the border color.  On monochrome displays,
             should be ``white'', ``black'', or ``gray''; gray is
             the default.

     -bg color
             Specify the background color.  On monochrome
             displays, should be ``white'' or ``black''; black is
             the default.

     -bw pixels
             Specify the width in pixels of the border around the
             xload window. The default value is 3 pixels.

     -fg color
             Specify the graph color.  On monochrome displays,
             should be ``white'' or ``black''; white is the
             default.

     -fn fontname
             The hostname will be displayed in the specified font
             (if none is specified, this defaults to 6 x 10).

     -hl color
             Specify the hostname and scale line color; the
             default is to make it the same as the graph color.

XLOAD(1X10)             COMMAND REFERENCE             XLOAD(1X10)



     -rv     Cause xload to produce all output in black-on-white
             instead of white-on-black.

     -fw     Cause xload to produce all output in white-on-black
             instead of black-on-white.

     -scale integer
             Specify the minimum number of divisions on the graph
             (default 1); xload is then free to use more
             divisions if the load gets too high to display, but
             it will never use fewer divisions than this.

     -update seconds
             Specify the frequency in seconds with which xload
             updates its display (except if the xload window is
             obscured and then exposed, immediate redisplay
             occurs).  The default update frequency is 5 seconds.
             Specification of a frequency less than 5 seconds is
             ignored and the default frequency is used instead.

     =geometry
             The load graph window is created with the specified
             size and location determined by the supplied
             geometry specification.  See X(1x10) for a full
             explanation.

     [host]:[display]
             Normally, xload gets the host and display number to
             use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''.
             Either or both can be specified with this option.
             host specifies which machine to create the xload
             window on, and display specifies the display number.
             For example, ``mit-grape-nehi:0'' creates an xload
             on display 0 on machine mit-grape-nehi. Either value
             can be defaulted by omission but ``:'' is necessary
             to specify one or both.

     Highlight
             Set the hostname and scale line color.

     ReverseVideo

             background color.

     Scale   Set the minimum scale.

     Update  Set the update interval.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY - to get the default host and display number.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Unable to open display or create window. Unable to open
     /dev/kmem.  Unable to query window for dimensions. Various X
     errors.

CAVEATS
     xload requires the ability to open and read /dev/kmem. On
     most systems, this requires the suid bit set with root
     ownership or the sgid bit set and membership in the same
     group as /dev/kmem.
