Create two windows: one window for config file test/barchart at position x=40, y=40 and one window for config file test/linechart at position x=40, y=140:
xsysguard test/barchart+40+40 test/linechart+40+140
Create two windows for the config file test/daemon: one window for host1 and one window for host2:
xsysguard "command=ssh host1 xsysguardd" test/daemon "command=ssh host2 xsysguardd" test/daemon
