xswsrv is the server to xsw, an X based tool for system monitoring. When xswsrv is invoked, it places itself in the background an dettacheds it self from the tty.
To limit connections to xswsrv, a list of "systems" can limit connections. xswsrv reads /etc/default/xswsrv for a list of system names that xswsrv can connect too. The format of the list is:
CLIENT=[<system name>]
Another means of limiting connections, would be to specify a specific port that xswsrv binds to. This can be implemented using the command line arguments, or by using the /etc/default/xswsrv file option
PORT=<port number>
xswsrv rereads this file when it recieves a hangup signal, SIGHUP. Only system names will be added, deleted, or modified in this manner.
Command line options allow the user to set specific colors and threshold values. xsw can connect to an unlimited number of servers.
