NAME
       saidar -	a curses-based tool for	viewing	system statistics

SYNOPSIS
       saidar [-d delay] [-c] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       saidar  is a curses-based tool for viewing the system statistics	avail-
       able through libstatgrab. Statistics include CPU, processes, load, mem-
       ory, swap, network I/O, disk I/O, and file system information.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported.

       -d DELAY
	      Wait DELAY seconds between updates (default 3)

       -c     Enables coloured output

       -v     Prints the version number

       -h     Display help and exits

COLOURED OUTPUT
       When the	-c option is used saidar uses colours  to  display  the	 data.
       Each  area  has	a  different  colour to	distinguish it from the	nearby
       fields. Bold and	reverse	video effects  are  used  to  emphasis	fields
       where necessary.

       The  load  average  figures  are	displayed in bold when they're notably
       (greater	that 1)	different to each other.  This	purely	shows  that  a
       change in the load is occurring.

       When  CPU usage goes over 60% it	will be	displayed in bold.  At 90% the
       field is	displayed using	reverse	video. Likewise	for memory,  swap  and
       disk usage at 75% and 90%. Zombie processes are also highlighted.

       Other values (paging, disk I/O and network I/O) are not highlighted due
       to the nature of	the values; it's not easy to determine what thresholds
       are significant.
