The svmon configuration file

Edit online

A configuration file named .svmonrc, containing a list of svmon -O option, can be defined to overwrite the default values of these options. This file must be defined in the home directory of the user running svmon command.

At start time, the svmon command does the following:

Initializes the default values for each -O option.
Reads the .svmonrc file and overwrites the default -O option values with these new users default values.
Reads the command flag defined by the user.

For example, the following .svmonrc file sets svmon to generate the default report format before the -O option were introduced:

# cat .svmonrc
summary=basic
segment=category
pgsz=on

Note:

When an option is not recognized in the file, it is ignored.
When an option is defined more than once, only the last value will be used.
