PMTIME(1) General Commands Manual PMTIME(1)
pmtime - time control server for Performance Co-Pilot
pmtime [-V?] [-p port]
pmtime is a graphical user interface for performance monitoring
applications using the PCP infrastructure and requiring
interactive time control.
pmtime is not normally invoked directly by users. Rather, it is
more typical for it to be started by client applications (e.g.
pmchart(1), pmstat(1) or pmval(1)).
There are two modes of interacting with a pmtime process - live
host mode, and historical archive mode. In archive mode the
window presents time controls suitable for manipulating the
archive position, allowing full VCR control to move forwards and
backwards in time at configurable rates and intervals. In live
mode the pmtime window contains the simpler time controls
suitable for live monitoring.
Note that the pmtime window is only made visible when explicitly
requested. Multiple client applications can be connected to a
single pmtime server - when the final client application exits,
pmtime will also exit.
The available command line options are:
-p port, --guiport=port
port is the port number which pmtime will use for
communication with its clients (monitoring applications).
-V, --version
Display version number and exit.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
When a port number is not explicitly requested on the command
line via the -p option, the environment variable PMTIME_PORT can
be set to specify the port number from which available-port
probing will commence when pmtime is searching for a port number
to use.
The default starting port number is 43334.
PCPIntro(1), pmchart(1), pmstat(1) and pmval(1).
