Hi guys, I've improved a shell version of a dwm status daemon which has the feature of showing network ups and downs. http://s.natalian.org/2013-08-17/dwm_status.png https://github.com/kaihendry/Kai-s--HOME/blob/master/bin/dwm_status
Please free to critique the code and suggest improvements. I studied htop whilst running it and I didn't notice it doing anything significant, so I don't see the point in writing it in C. However I do realise it spawns umpteen processes every second. :/ xsetroot doesn't seem to support Unicode: http://s.natalian.org/2013-08-17/1376709827_1366x768.png Or is that my font? I forget. I simply want ↑↓ to show there. My dwm font line atm is: static const char font[] = "-*-stlarch-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" "," "-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"; and for the brilliant st static char font[] = "Terminus:pixelsize=18"; I don't know who put me onto stlarch and its icons. I don't mind using stlarch, but I don't know how I can list the glyphs, like I have been using them like so \uE030 from other scripts. Be good if Unicode has some glyphs for network, cpu and volume, and I didn't have to bother with stlarch. Kind regards,
