Hints for WMiNET

Generic
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMiNET supports commandline options, 'wminet -h' prints help
about them.


WindowMaker
--------------------------------------------------------------
WindowMaker users simply drag and drop the WMiNET dock.app on
the WindowMaker Dock (preferred) or near the Clip, and then 
press the rightmouse button on the outer edges of WMiNET,
select "Settings..." and enable the "Start when WindowMaker
is started" option.


Afterstep
--------------------------------------------------------------
Afterstep users put the following in their .steprc
"Wharf wminet - MaxSwallow "wminet" wminet &".


Other WindowManagers
--------------------------------------------------------------
For other windowmanagers, WMiNET runs nicely as 64x64 pixel
shaped icon on your desktop.

p.s. FVWM can swallow it too, so we've heard ;-)


Dragging WMiNET 
--------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to drag WMiNET on it's outer edges, it's a bit 
picky due to the large gfx pixmap it keeps ;-)


Using WMiNET
-------------------------------------------------------------
WMiNET support the following commandline options:

    -h              helpscreen
    -geometry       +XPOS+YPOS (initial window position)
    -display        display name (Default 0:0)
    -v              print wminet version number


Setting up the wminetrc file
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMiNET can (optionally) launch commands with a left mouse
click on one of the 5 information gadgets in the interface
statistics display.

You may define your settings in ~/.wminetrc, take a look at
the supplied wminetrc...

Using Port Watchers
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMiNET now supports "port watchers".  I added this bacause so
many people were writting me saying 'add support for this service,
add support for that service'.  So now, its 100% configurable.
You can monitor any ports you want.

 How this works:

in either your /etc/wminetrc or ~/.wminetrc files, you will see options like:

portwatch1.pos=0
portwatch1.port=25
portwatch1.label=smtp

see how the first option is set to 0?  This means it's disabled.
To enable it, change the '0' to the slot on WMiNET where you would like it
to display.  If you set two monitors to the same slot, messy things will
happen, so be sure to check that.

You can set the .port setting to any TCP prot you wish to count connections
on.  That's right, custom services, eggdrop bots, whatever you want.

The .label field should be self explanitory, but just in case...
Set this to the label for the port as you wish it to be shown.

Hope this statisfies everyone's requests... I'll add multiple pages and
auto-page flipping next release.

please email me if you have questions/problems..
