I'm lazy and use conky-cli to do most of the grunt work...my conkyrc (below) displays the cpu frequency, cpu usage percentiles, battery or AC status, LAN or WIFI stats depending on which is active, and the date/time: ~$ cat .conkyrc background no out_to_console yes update_interval 2 total_run_times 0 use_spacer none TEXT ${freq 1}MHz ${cpu cpu1}%/${cpu cpu2}% :: ${if_existing /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/present}Bat ${battery_percent}%${else}AC${endif} :: ${if_empty ${exec ifconfig wlan0 | grep 'inet addr:'}}${upspeed eth0}K ${downspeed eth0}K${else}${wireless_link_qual_perc wlan0}% ${wireless_essid wlan0} ${upspeed wlan0}K ${downspeed wlan0}K${endif} :: ${time %b %d %H:%M} ...and I combine this with a startdwm script so I can reload dwm without closing other applications: $ cat bin/startdwm #!/bin/sh # A simple script to start dwm in a while loop which # allows dwm to be killed without closing programs. # Usage: killall dwm <-- restarts dwm # killall startdwm <-- kills session conky-cli | while read line; do xsetroot -name "$line"; done | while true; do dwm > /dev/null; done;
