NAME¶

arm - Terminal Tor status monitor

SYNOPSIS¶

arm [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION¶

The anonymizing relay monitor (arm) is a terminal status monitor for Tor relays, intended for command-line aficionados, ssh connections, and anyone stuck with a tty terminal. This works much like top does for system usage, providing real time statistics for:
* bandwidth, cpu, and memory usage
* relay's current configuration
* logged events
* connection details (ip, hostname, fingerprint, and consensus data)
* etc

Defaults and interface properties are configurable via a user provided configuration file (for an example see the provided armrc.sample). Releases and information are available at http://www.atagar.com/arm.

-d, --debug

-b, --blind
