slstatus
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**slstatus** is a suckless and lightweight status monitor for window managers which use WM_NAME as statusbar (e.g. DWM). It is written in pure C without any system() calls and only reads from files most of the time. It is meant as a better alternative to Bash scripts (inefficient) and Conky (bloated for this use).
|
|
|
|
The following information is included:
|
|
|
|
- wifi percentage
|
|
- battery percentage
|
|
- cpu usage in percent
|
|
- cpu temperature
|
|
- ram usage in percent
|
|
- alsa volume level in percent
|
|
- disk usage
|
|
- date
|
|
- time
|
|
|
|
Multiple entries (battery, wifi signal, ...) are supported and everything can be reordered and customized via a C header file (similar to DWM).

|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Before you continue, please be sure that a C compiler, `make` and `alsa-lib` are installed. Then compile the program once using `sudo make install`. After that you may change config.h to your needs and recompile it after any change!
|
|
|
|
### Starting
|
|
|
|
Put the following code in your ~/.xinitrc (or similar):
|
|
|
|
```
|
