jwmtools

Various tools for jwm window manager.

Tray applets

• traybattery displays battery status (charge in percents and status icon)

• traykeymap displays current keyboard layout.

• traymonitor applet displays system load (cpu, load, memory, swap, network, disk). It uses console tool sysmonitor (sources included) as backend for obtaining these data.

• trayscript applet displays output of any (bash) script. Special, user defined, script is executed every 30s and it's output is displayed in tray. This script can contain whatever you want to be displayed on tray, e.g. echo "Hello John" or df -h / | tail -1 | awk '{ print $4"B free" }' for displaying amount of free space on disk. Main purpose of this applet is to quickly display information for which regular applet do not exist yet. For most cases this approach is good enough.

• trayusermount applet is for mounting and unmounting removable devices such as USB flash disks. It uses pmount, pumount and blkid console tools.

• trayvolume applet is for changing master audio volume. Both ALSA and Pulse audio are supported. Volume is regulated using mouse wheel.

• trayweather is applet for displaying weather information using METAR data (clouds, wind, temperature, pressure, visibility).

Backend tools

• appmenugen parse all *.desktop files and generate menu with categories. Output is xml file that can be used as part of JWM config file using this code:

  <!-- application menu --> <RootMenu height="24" onroot="6"> <Include>exec:/opt/jwmtools/0.1/bin/appmenugen</Include> </RootMenu>

• movemousecursor is tool which move cursor to bottom right corner of the screen (or any other location specified by first and second parameter)

• s is auxiliary "library" for manipulating strings. Made by C non-programmer for C non-programmers. I created it mostly to fight leaks and n-1 bugs.

• sysmonitor print various statistics (cpu, memory, disks, network). It is backend for traymonitor. Traymonitor could read those info directly, but it very rarely and inexplainably segfaulted while doing so. So it instead run sysmonitor. When sysmonitor crash, nothing will happen to traymonitor itself, it will just display info in next refresh.

Other tools

• poweroffdialog Simple poweroff dialog with option to reboot or logout and few others:
