slstatus - suckless status ========================== slstatus is a small tool for providing system status information to other programs over the EWMH property of the root window (used by dwm(1)) or standard input/output. It is designed to be as efficient as possible by only issuing the minimum of system calls required. Features -------- - Battery percentage/state/time left - Cat (read file) - CPU usage - CPU frequency - Custom shell commands - Date and time - Disk status (free storage, percentage, total storage and used storage) - Available entropy - Username/GID/UID - Hostname - IP address (IPv4 and IPv6) - Kernel version - Keyboard indicators - Keymap - Load average - Network speeds (RX and TX) - Number of files in a directory (hint: Maildir) - Memory status (free memory, percentage, total memory and used memory) - GPU Memory status (percentage used, total amount and used amount of virtual memory) - Swap status (free swap, percentage, total swap and used swap) - Temperature - Uptime - Volume percentage - WiFi signal percentage and ESSID Requirements ------------ Currently slstatus works on FreeBSD, Linux and OpenBSD. In order to build slstatus you need the Xlib header files. - For volume percentage on Linux the kernel module `snd-mixer-oss` must be loaded. - For volume percentage on FreeBSD, `sndio` must be installed. Installation ------------ Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slstatus is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slstatus (if necessary as root): make clean install Running slstatus ---------------- See the man page for details. Configuration ------------- slstatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
