sysmon

sysmon

Shows a graph with the recent CPU usage history in your i3 status bar.

Installation

; go install github.com/alcortesm/sysmon/cmd/sysmon@latest
; go install github.com/alcortesm/sysmon/cmd/sysmon-server@latest

Usage

To use sysmon as part of your i3status bar:

1. Create an executable script with the following content and add it to your path:

   #!/bin/bash
   i3status | while :
   do
       read line
       load=`sysmon`
       echo "sysmon: $load | $line" || exit 1
   done
   

   This will call the regular i3status command and the sysmon command and combine their outputs into a single line.

   For purpose of demonstration, we will call this script i3status_with_sysmon.

2. Now modify your .i3/conf file, to tell i3 to run your script, instead of the regular i3status command:

   bar {                                                                           
   #    status_command i3status                                               
       status_command i3status_with_sysmon                                               
   }
