5 wmppp \- Graphically monitor the average PPP load
10 \fBwmppp.app\fP displays a dynamic representation of the load on the
11 PPP line on a 64x64 miniwindow. It also starts and stops the
12 connection and displays the time enlapsed since the it came up. The
13 traffic on the interface is also monitored.
16 .B \-display <display\ name>
17 name of display to use
19 .B \-geometry +XPOS+YPOS
20 initial window position
23 sets the on-line timer to display MM:SS instead of the default HH:MM.
26 sets the frequency, in seconds, for updates to the display. Valid
27 range is 1-10, default value is 5.
30 choose the net device (ppp1, ippp0, etc.) to monitor. (Note that this
31 feature is EXPERIMENTAL and should be used with caution. Bug reports
35 command to report connection speed
47 file used to calculate uptime
50 displays a command line summary
53 displays the version number.
55 The configuration file (see below) may contain any of the following
56 key-value pairs. The format is \fIkey: value\fP. Note that these values will be
57 overwritten by the corresponding command line options.
60 The program that starts the connection
63 The program that stops the connection
66 This program reports the speed of the connection. This program should
67 output \fI<speed>\fP, that is, a \fInumber\fP is expected and not the
68 whole \"CONNECT\" line the modem outputs.
71 This program is run if the line goes down, and the \fIstop\fP program
72 hasn't been run. (Redial program)
75 The modification time of this file is used to calculate the amount of
76 time the connection has been up. Something like \fItouch <stampfile>\fP
77 should be run for this to work.
80 /var/run/wmppp.\fIppp0\fP
81 this is the stamp file use to determine the amount of time enlapsed
82 since the connection came up. This file should be managed by the ip-up
83 and ip-down scripts. On Debian systems, \fI/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00wmppp\fP
84 creates the file, and \fI/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00wmppp\fP removes it.
93 System wide fixed options, this overrides the user settings
