NAME
     sysmon - System log file viewer

SYNOPSIS
     sysmon [syslog file]

DESCRIPTION
     sysmon is part of the Desktop System Monitor.  It can be launched by
     selecting the Toolchest "System Manager" menu, then selecting "System
     Performance" and then "View the System Log."  sysmon allows a user to
     browse the system log file (/var/adm/SYSLOG).  The 8 syslog priorities
     (see syslog(3B)) are simplified into 4 priority levels. The following
     table shows how syslog priorities map into sysmon's simplified priority
     scheme:

              Sysmon Priority   Syslog Priority   # Priority   Symbol
              _______________________________________________________
              CRITICAL          LOG_EMERG             0          c
              CRITICAL          LOG_ALERT             1          c
              ERROR             LOG_CRIT              2          e
              ERROR             LOG_ERR               3          e
              WARNING           LOG_WARNING           4          w
              WARNING           LOG_NOTICE            5          w
              INFO              LOG_INFO              6          i
              INFO              LOG_DEBUG             7          i

NOTES
     The symbol is used in place of an icon when sysmon is unable to allocate
     enough colorcells to display the bitmap.

     To monitor multiple systems, reference chapter 2 of the sysmon release
     notes.
