* Package name : command-runner-applet Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Marcin Owsiany <porri...@debian.org> * URL : N/A * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: Python Description : a panel applet which periodically displays a command output This applet periodically runs a configured shell command and displays its output in a text label on the GNOME panel. . It is useful for keeping track of something, for which having a terminal window constantly open would be inconvenient. It's very simple for now, but does its job. A snippet from the README follows: How does it work ---------------- You add the applet to your panel the usual way: right-click, select "add to panel" and select the Command Runner applet. Once it starts, it loads its configuration and periodically runs a shell command, displaying its result in a simple text label on the panel, pausing for 5 seconds between the command invocations. The command which is run is configurable via a little 'Preferences' dialog accessible by right-clicking the applet. There is also an 'About' dialog. The default command is "echo 'Hello.'" What is it good for? -------------------- I deveped it to be able to keep an eye on the size of the mail queue on my laptop, to avoid the problem where a misconfiguration I introduced would stop any mail from being sent from my system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
