PROCMETER3-LCD(1)

✨ PROCMETER3-LCD ✨

okay bestie, so this is procmeter3-lcd from the General Commands Manual section — it's a system monitoring program with an LCDproc display. yes literally, it puts your computer's whole vibe on a lil LCD screen. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

procmeter3-lcd — a system monitoring program with LCDproc display. that's the whole thing. she monitors, she displays, she slays. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

procmeter3-lcd [-h|--help] [--rc=<filename>] [--...]  [...]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so ProcMeter displays one or more pieces of information about the operating system and other resources. not one, not two — one or more. she's flexible like that. ✨

most of the info that gets displayed comes straight from the /proc filesystem. that's the source, that's the vibe. and like — the program is modular and very configurable. extremely your-girl, honestly. she will be whatever you want her to be. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the command line options are described below. let's get into it. 🫶

• -h — provides a help message listing the available outputs. and bestie, this list is gonna be different for different computers depending on the Linux kernel version that is being used and the hardware/software that is configured. so no comparing notes, everyone's list is unique. it's giving personal brand. 💖
• --rc=<filename> — load the specified .procmeterrc file in stead of the searching in the usual places. (yes, "in stead" — that's how the manpage says it, we don't fix, we respect. 🫡)
• --... — a list of configuration file options that will override the values in the .procmeterrc file. the format of these options is (for example) --LCD.host=localhost which is equivalent to the entry in the .procmeterrc file of:

[LCD]
host = localhost

all spaces around the equal sign must be removed and if spaces are required in the value on the right hand side then quotes must be used around the entire command line option. so like, no spaces around =, periodt. quotes only when the value itself needs spaces. don't forget or she will simply not understand you. 😭

• ... — a list of names of outputs that are to be displayed. this can include any of the outputs that are available (see the -h option, bestie, she told you). for the CPU usage is in a module named Statistics with an output named CPU and there are graph (-g), text (-t) and bar (-b) options. to display the CPU usage graph you would use the command line option Statistics.CPU-g.

iykyk: module dot output dash style. Statistics.CPU-g = the graph version. 🌟

🎀 USAGE 🎀

when started the program will display on an attached LCD display using the LCDd daemon program (from http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net). yes, she needs her bestie daemon to show up. 🤝

the outputs that are displayed are those from the command line and those from the .procmeterrc configuration file. both. together. it's a collab. 💫
