NAME
bmon - Interactive monitor utility.

SYNOPSIS
bmon -f [filepath]config_file [-runonce]

DESCRIPTION
bmon allows you to monitor Zen activities on a server. It provides information that is useful for both database administration and application programming diagnostics. The utility can monitor the following:

* Files

* Users

* Resource statistics

* Communication statistics

OPTIONS

-f  This is a required parameter to specify that a configuration file is providing input to the utility.

filepath
    The path to the configuration file. If omitted, bmon checks the local directory for the configuration file.

config_file
    The name of the configuration file. The file name is of your choosing.

-runonce
    This is an optional parameter that instructs the utility to run once, then exit. The runonce parameter is particularly useful when bmon is used in a batch file.

    If runonce is omitted, the utility executes the settings in the configuration file, then pauses for the duration of the refresh rate. During the pause, you can send the utility a valid keyboard key response as shown below. If the refresh rate is set to zero, the utility pauses indefinitely until it receives a valid keyboard key response. The refreshrate setting in the configuration file specifies how many seconds to pause.

    Keyboard Key Response:

    “Q” (or “q”) + Enter stops execution of the utility

    “R” (or “r”) + Enter refreshes the monitoring (runs the utility again)

    Refresh Rate:

    0 (pause indefinitely)

    Keyboard Key Response:

    “Q” (or “q”) + Enter stops execution of the utility

    Refresh Rate:

    > 0 (pause for value of seconds)
