NAME
     asfsm - the AfterStep file system monitor

SYNOPSIS
     asfsm [-showzero] [-bg] [-fg] [-bp] [-z] [-pbg] [-pfg] [-pbp] [-i]

DESCRIPTION
     The  asfsm  application  is  a file system monitor for the AfterStep window
     manager.  It displays "raised" horizontal	bars  representing  the  percent
     used of each mounted filesystem. Filesystems of zero initial block size are
     represented as "lowered" horizontal bars that span the entire window if the
     -showzero	option	is  used,  otherwise  they  are not shown at all.  asfsm
     checks the filesystem usage on an interval.   Filesystems	mounted  between
     intervals	will  appear  after the next scan.  Left clicking the mouse in a
     bar pops up a window displaying detailed information about  the  filesystem
     that the bar represents.  Left clicking the mouse in the border or anywhere
     not  occupied by a bar pops up a window which displays the filesystem names
     and mount directories for each filesystem available  for  mount  (excluding
     NFS  filesystems on sun machines).  An icon surrounded by a colored rectan-
     gle displays the filesystem type and status.  A red  rectangle  denotes  an
     unmounted	filesystem,  a	green  denotes a mounted filesystem and a yellow
     rectangle denotes a filesystem which users do not have permission to  mount
     or unmount.  A zip disk image is displayed for all filesystems whose device
     name  contain  "zip",   a	jaz  disk image is displayed for all filesystems
     whose device name contain "jaz",  a  Compact  Disc  is  displayed	for  all
     filesystems  whose  type  is  "RCKRDG",  "ISO9660", "iso9660", or "hsfs", a
     floppy image is displayed for all filesystems whose  device  name	contains
     "fd", a dos floppy image is displayed for all floppies whose device type is
     "DOS"  or	"msdos", a dos hard disk image is displayed for all non-floppies
     whose device type is "DOS" or "msdod", a networking image is displayed  for
     all nfs filesystems (whose filesystem names have a":" in them) and an image
     of  a  hard  drive  platter  with a devil on it is displayed for everything
     else.  Left clicking inside the colored rectangle toggles the mount  status
     of the filesystem.

     -fg
	    Changes foreground color of the main window.

     -bp
	    Changes background pixmap of the main window. Can also be None which
	    lets the background color show through.

     -z
	    Changes foreground color for filesystems of zero initial block size.

     -pbg
	    Changes background color of the popup window.

     -pfg

     -pbd
	    Changes border color of the popup window.

     -pbp
	    Changes  background  pixmap  of  the  popup window. Can also be None
	    which lets the background  color  show  through,  Transparent  which
	    makes it transparent, or Translucent which makes it translucent.

INVOCATION
     asfsm  can  be called from one of many ways.  The most common invocation is
     the command line:

	  [user@host] ~% asfsm -b green -f blue -i 3 -pbp Translucent&

     Another way to call asfsm is from the window manager:

	  *Wharf - - MaxSwallow "asfsm" asfsm -b green -f blue -i 3 -pbp Translucent&

     This line, when placed in the .steprc file in the users home directory will
     cause asfsm a button on the Wharf (1) button bar under  the  afterstep  (1)
     window manager.
