Hints for WMND

Generic
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMND supports commandline options, 'wmnd -h' prints help
about them.

Use option -i to monitor a particular interface at startup:

wmnd -i eth0 &
wmnd -i ppp0 &
wmnd -i lo &

Without the -i option, wmnd will automagicly use the interface
that is first found in /proc/net/dev, but skip the lo and irda.


Active Interface
  You can cycle in realtime through all available active interfaces
  by simply left-clicking on the interface name gadget on the
  upperleft corner of wmnd.

  The 'lo' interface is an exception, 'lo' ONLY works when invoked
  from the commandline (wmnd -i lo), lo was mainly built in for
  testing purposes.

Device Name
  By default, wmnd show device name in short term of four characters,
  for example, the ippp0 will be displayed as ipp0.  You can toggle
  the device name between short and long by right-click on it.

Graphic Mode
  Left-click on the main graphic area to cycle the graphic mode.

Max Meter
  Left-click to toggle the history max or screen max, default is
  screen max when wmnd is startup.  Right-click to hide or display.

Byte/Packet Mode
  Left-click on the letter gadgeted on the right-top corner can switch
  between the Byte or Packet counter mode. "B" for byte, "p" for packet.

User Script
  Click on the bottom rate meter can invoke the user command defined in
  resource file .wmndrc.

Dragging WMND 
  Be sure to drag WMND on it's outer edges, it's a bit picky due
  to the large gfx pixmap it keeps ;-). You can also use a
  keyboard+mouse shortcut (perhaps ALT+left-click) in your window
  manager to drag it around.


WindowMaker
--------------------------------------------------------------
WindowMaker users simply drag and drop the WMND dock.app on
the WindowMaker Dock (preferred) or on the Fiend, and then 
press the rightmouse button on the outer edges of WMND and
then enable 'Autolaunch' from the Dock popup menu.


Afterstep
--------------------------------------------------------------
Afterstep users put the following in their .steprc
"Wharf wmnd - MaxSwallow "wmnd" wmnd -i eth0 -w &".


Other WindowManagers
--------------------------------------------------------------
For other windowmanagers, WMND runs nicely as 64x64 pixel
shaped icon on your desktop.

p.s. FVWM can swallow it too, so we've heard ;-)


Creating PPP dialup scripts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Because a very good PPP HowTo already exists,
it's quite pointless for us to explain to you
how you should and can make them.

Read the PPP HowTo, and you'll see that it's
very easy to create your own PPP scripts.
