    SLmon is a tool for monitoring system's performance. It displays results
using nice and (hopefully) readable text-based UI. Currently monitored
are:

	o  CPU load (SMP is supported)
	o  memory (including swap)
	o  uptime, date and time
	o  number of logged in users

NOTE: This is current stable version i.e. no future changes except bugfixes
will be made. New development vesion will be named 0.5.0.

    SLmon uses glibtop version >= 1.0.0 and libslang version >= 1.2.2
(this version however has a bug that makes it impossible to write a
character in lower right corner, but otherwise it works okay). The popt
library (version >= 1.1.3) is used for options parsing and aliasing.

The popt library.

SLmon uses popt library for options parsing and aliasing i.e. it is
possible for users to make their own command line options by combining
already existing options. Currently this mechanism is used to implement
color themes.

If slmon has been compiled with getopt instead popt long options
(i.e. --rspace) and aliases won't be available.

Aliases

Aliases are defined in file $HOME/.slmonrc. Example file looks like
follows:

     slmon alias --myoption -b --hist

...which is: program name, alias keyword, alias name, aliased options.

For more details consult the popt manual.

Color themes

For list of predefined themes see file doc/slmonrc.
