NAME
vixen - realtime disk space, memory, and network interface monitor

SYNOPSIS
vixen [-t THRESH] [-s secs]

DESCRIPTION
vixen gives you a full screen, realtime display of disk status of all mounted partitions on your system. It can also display memory and network interface status. vixen uses the /proc file system as well as the ncurses library. It is also much faster than df(1) at displaying results since it uses the statfs() call.

-t threshold at which vixen will print a warning message on the screen based on the global threshold ( 90% full is the default).

-s indicates how long to sleep between file system samples ( 5 seconds is the default).

INTERACTIVE MODE
Once running, vixen is in an interactive mode. The following keys are valid:

h show help

t set threshold level for (g)lobal, (p)artition, (m)emory, or (s)wap. Toggling between global and partition monitoring can also be set.

i set delay interval in seconds between updates

m show memory display for real and virtual memory

n show network interface display for currently configured interfaces such as lo0 and eth0.

c clear memory, network, or help displays

v show program version information

s switch between global and partition based warnings

d toggle between file system displays

p set individual partition thresholds

w toggle warning sound on/off

b toggle memory background mode on/off. This setting enables memory monitoring without displaying memory statistics.

o toggle color mode on/off.
