Sensor: CPU Usage

This Sensor shows the current usage of the main processor(s) in percent. A low value indicates that a processor is idle most of its time.

If you have more than one main processor and work with Windows NT you can instruct SysMon to show each CPU seperately and/or the average for all CPUs. Just open the Options Dialog for the CPU Sensor and adjust the settings.

Sensor: Number of Running Threads


Sensor: Free Physical Memory

This Sensor displays the amount of free physical memory, that is the amount of available memory that comes from physical RAM and NOT from the swap file.

You will notice a degrade in system performance if all your physical memory is used by applications, disk cache or Windows itself because then Windows needs to use a swap file on your harddisk to compensate for the missing physical RAM.

So if this Sensor very often shows a low or zero free physical memory you should think of adding more memory.

Sensor: Memory Load


Sensor: Available Swap Space

This Sensor displays the maximum size to which the swap file could grow, this is usually the free space on your boot drive or the drive where Windows is installed.

It is most importand that Windows has always enough available swap space, if not your system performance will degrade noticable.

Sensor: Memory Load


Sensor: Windows Up-Time

This sensor displays the amount of time that Windows is running since the last system start or reboot.

The counter will wrap around after approx. 47 days and will then start from 0 again.


Sensor: Overall Memory Load

This Sensor displays the so called "Memory Load", a percent value that gives a general idea of current memory utilization, in which 0 indicates no memory use and 100 indicates full memory use.

The Memory Load is roughly the amount of used physical memory and available space in the swap file.

This Sensor is not available on Windows NT!

Sensor: Number of Running Threads

This Sensor displays the number of threads that are currently running on this system.

A thread is the basic unit to which the operating system allocates processor time. An application can have multiple threads running at the same time.

The Thread Sensor is an indicator of the overall system usage.

Sensor Options: "Drive Sensor"

This dialog page offers some extra options for the "Drive sensor".

Use this options to select the drives for the sensor and the data displayed for the drives.


Sensor: System Resources

This Sensor shows the percentage of unused (free) GDI and USER heap. The USER and GDI heaps are two shared memory areas where Windows stores information about open windows, menus, timers and about drawing objects like pens, brushes and fonts.

If either the USER heap or the GDI heap gets too full, performance will degrade for the entire Windows system.  You may even not be able to start a new program, although there is plenty of free "normal" memory.

These limitations does not apply to Windows NT, so this Sensor is not available on Windows NT.


Sensor: Current System Time

This Sensor shows the current system time.

(In one of the next releases of fkWare SysMon you will be able to control the display format of the time)

Kagi Payment Processing Service

What is Kagi?

Kagi is a Shareware payment processing service that makes it easy for people to pay Shareware fees and saves Shareware authors from handling payment processing.  Here's how Kagi works.

How does the payment processing work?

Kagi provides Shareware authors with a small registration program called register.exe that they bundle with their software.  When a person wishes to pay for their Shareware they run the registration program and fill in the form that it presents.  They enter their name, email, postal address, and the amount of licenses they wish to pay for.  The form accepts many different payment methods such as: US Check, Money Order, Cash (in many different currencies), Visa, MasterCard, American Express, First Virtual, and Invoice (to be given to their accounts payable department).  They  either e-mail the data generated by the registration program or they print it and send it via postal mail or fax.  Sensitive information, like credit card numbers, is encoded for better security.  Each payer receives an e-mail reply from Kagi and once a month the Shareware authors receive a single payment from Kagi.

What are the advantages to this system?

Payers like this service because it makes it easy to pay their Shareware fees and Shareware authors like the service because more people tend to pay when it is easy to do so.  Non-USA Shareware authors and payers like the service because it eliminates all the currency conversion issues such as how a payer in Finland would pay an author in Australia. Another benefit of the service is that Shareware authors can concentrate on what they do best, writing software, rather than spending time processing payments.

The above is just a short summary of Kagi Shareware.  Kagi offers many services to meet the needs of our Shareware authors and is always open to suggestions.  For more information point your Web browser to http://www.kagi.com, or send e-mail to support@kagi.com.

Shareware Reminder

This dialog is displayed to remind you that $ProgName is not registered yet. If you register your copy of $ProgName you'll never see this dialog again.


What is Shareware?

The concept of "Shareware":

Shareware, also known as user supported software and other names, is a concept not understood by everyone.  The author of Shareware retains all rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing free distribution.  This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and try out software to see if it fits their needs.  Shareware should not be confused with Public Domain software even though they are often obtained from the same sources.

If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected to register your use with the author and pay a registration fee.  What you get in return depends on the author, but may include a printed manual, free updates, telephone support, etc.  Only by paying for the Shareware you use do you enable the Shareware author to continue to support his software and create new programs.  Considering that the Shareware registration fees are almost always far less than the purchase price of comparable commercial software it's obvious that Shareware is a good deal for everyone.

There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system.  You get to try out software to make sure it is compatible with your hardware and that it fits your needs before you "buy" it with your registration.  The author saves the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution and passes the savings on to you.  Plus, most Shareware authors are much more accessible than commercial software sources so that your questions and suggestions are much more likely to be responded to.

Thank you for your support!

Welcome to fkWare SysMon 1.22!

fkWare SysMon is a highly customizable memory and resource monitor for Windows. It works with Windows 95/98 and with Windows NT 4/5.

Each display of fkWare SysMon is called a Sensor and shows the status of a part of your system.

If you want to learn more about the Sensors available in fkWare SysMon read the section about available Sensors.

fkWare SysMon is designed to use as little system resources for itself as possible and without increasing the overall system load more than absolutely necessary.

fkWare SysMon has a lot of features. They most important features are listed below:

•	fkWare SysMon itself uses very few system resources, such as memory and CPU time.

•	fkWare SysMon is fully configurable!

•	Free selection of visible Sensors

•	Free color selection for each Sensor

•	Free font selection for Sensor window

•	Variable update frequency

•	The window may stay on top of other windows.

•	Small tray icon with Sensor display. You may select any Sensor for the tray icon.

•	SysMon comes with an uninstall program which will remove the program completely from your system if you don't like it.
