Status Monitor


The Status Monitor is a tool to supervise and handle process- and operator
stations. You add nodes that you want to supervise and the statusmonitor views
status for the node, with color indication and status information.

By default the SystemStatus is displayed for the nodes, but with the -m option
another status assigned by the application can be displayed instead.
