Cheers Stuart/Alexander - conky \w dzen2 or xstatbar seems worth a go. No doubt i'll probably just uninstall them after a while. Afterall, I can get info from the commandline and also use tmux to show some stats. Just playing around with cwm really, so maybe i've too much time on my hands :-) . I'd probably be better off using the time to help in some with the project, like writing docs - i'm pretty good at that. Cheers for all replies and links etc. Jamie. -- James Griffin: jmz at kontrol.kode5.net jmzgriffin at gmail.com A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38

I put mine here: https://gist.github.com/afresh1/5095884 The statusbar is just CPU, memory and battery but easy enough to add other things. The bit that automatically adjusts to multiple screens is handier (haven't tied it to dock/undock yet but perhaps someday). l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com Whatever happened to the days when hacking started at the cerebral cortex and not the keyboard? -- Sid from UserFriendly.org

Re: dzen2 with cwm
FWIW: https://gist.github.com/zeloff/5221377 Pretty common stuff (no mail status, though), with some trickery to use no more than half the screen's width (was a nag when connecting/disconnecting an external monitor) and some logic around all the possible battery/ac power scenarios. Has a couple of commented lines, because I used to separate wired/wireless net stats but later chose to just show the total traffic (wired was barely used and there was no point in showing zeros 99% of the time).

Basically you're right, I am totally lazy and don't wanna spend time writing scripts for something like this, i'm not ashamed to say. I've got more interesting things to do. I just thought someone might have come up with something nice that works and willing share. Cheers for your reply though.

You may be probably interested in sysutils/xstatbar (nice graphs) or x11/xmobar (all included) if you're too lazy to write monitoring scripts by yorself.

dzen2 with cwm
Hi I was wondering if anyone uses dzen2 with OpenBSD (-current). If so I'd be really interested to see some examples of setups and scripts. I'd like to be able to see network activity, mailbox updates/status and a few other items of interest. Nothing too complex. Cheers, Jamie. -- James Griffin: jmz at kontrol.kode5.net jmzgriffin at gmail.com A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
