That's what ksmarttray already does ;) It's shipped as part of smart, in contrib/, and I package it as "smart-ksmarttray". It's very simple though, it just calls "smart update" on a regular basis (interval is hardcoded in the sources), checks the output and reports it. So it's a lot like SuSE-watcher. If someone with some KDE hacking skills would like to spend a little time on it, I think it's pretty easy to expand (it already does the dirty job of interfacing with smart)... or even use SuSE-watcher and copy/paste the ksmarttray code "smart update" output checking code into it. At least it would be nice to do a simple config dialog for the update interval (passing it from the command-line would be the easiest hack, but probably not the most noob-friendly). Note that as smart is written in Python, a neat solution would be to code such a systray app (or kicker applet) in Python/QT or Python/KDE, to directly use the smart API instead of forking "smart update" and checking the output (although it works). But then again, Python/QT/KDE has very, very few documentation :\ cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEgMpBr3NMWliFcXcRAoH0AJ4tvbV9NKMAnaPbTYvJ81tOrS8S7QCeJyy4 g/4gfY5cVECFjAacaykW9bY= =c6ec -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
