Gatotray Subject description: combined cpu/temp monitor for the systray |
|
I don't know what puppy to compile for any more and stuff combined on Puppeee/Fluppy is no longer compatible with 4.3.1. But this is still worth knowing about so I'll post source code links.
Pros: small, multifunction applet, works in all WMs
cons: not transparent, no warning capability

Apart from this:

The log scale is rather weird
Does anyone know what the "wa" is?

Cool I didn't notice that. I wonder if it could be modified to auto-calibrate to the correct critical temperature.

So, are you using gatotray then?
I am the happy father of the creature but I get very little feedback about it. If you provide interesting feedback I would probably (depending on time availability) add some features, specially a settings dialog where to choose colors, ranges, and the program to start on-click.

So it has to be compiled first, at least for the latest version.
The bin available on the web site excutes in LightHouse 502G.
But:
The cpu freq isn't displayed
A click should bring TOP, but it doesn't.

I would be very tempted replace Traytemp with Gatotray in my puplets if Gatotray had configurable warning threshold and action from right-click menu (and maybe configurable top command).

Hi Béèm,
Please try this version that I modified for 2.14X, it is already included in Puppy 214X-TOP5 series. It´s a great applet.
It works with older kernels, htop is opened with a left click and it shows the freq information.
Greetings,

gatotray v2.0 |
|
Hey I just finished adding a preferences dialog to gatotray, and the option to have the background transparent.
It involves quite big changes so I versioned it 2.0. I am keeping it as lightweight as ever though!
I am also thinking of allowing the user to customize top command, and the tooltip contents.
I am also thinking about setting a project page where I can coordinate patches, bugs, and suggestions, maybe in Google Code Hosting...

Looks great so far - especially with the transparent background. I like that it monitors both the cpu and the temperature with one applet.
Is there any way to set the warning threshold? It looks like it's still hard coded to 85 degrees but I guess this threshold should depend on the cpu architecture and clock speed. I think there's a way to get the safe temperature range from the kernel, but I don't remember where off the top of my head.

I try it on lucid 5.20 right now.
Indeed the thermometer is always red Temperature varies between 58 and 60°C.
Freq is not displayed.
CPU usage is displayed.
A click should bring up HTOP, but that doesn't occur.
But nice little applet. Promising

If you add a commandline option for max CPU temp that may be good, but I can't seem to find anything in /proc for a max CPU temp. Any suggestions where to find?

I was thinking of something like this. You probably can't count on this being here but I think it is on most machines.
Code: | pwd
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ1
# cat trip_points
critical (S5): 110 C
passive: 107 C: tc1=1 tc2=2 tsp=300 devices=CPU0 CPU1
active[0]: 82 C: devices=C3C1
active[1]: 74 C: devices=C3C2
active[2]: 66 C: devices=C3C3
active[3]: 50 C: devices=C3C4
active[4]: 30 C: devices=C3C5 |
Code: | ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ1/trip_points
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ3/trip_points
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ4/trip_points
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ5/trip_points |

New project page dedicated to gatotray |
|
Hello, in order to coordinate all this feedback I am getting for gatotray, I have started a project page at Google code hosting: http://code.google.com/p/gatotray/
Please go there and submit your feature requests under the "Issues" category (http://code.google.com/p/gatotray/issues). Thus I hope to keep good track, and I will work on them at the best pace my dayjob allows...
Cheers!

Great!

Maybe I missed this information somewhere, but can anyone tell me? Or is it not displayed on your computers?
