Will be invaluable for my Acer AO 722...which has no HDD LED indicator at all!!
@Jasper: check out http://linux.die.net/man/1/xosview
There are some options you may find useful, e.g.:
Code: Select all
./xosview-1.8.3-diskmeter-dyn -xrm "xosview*diskReadColor: green" -xrm "xosview*diskWriteColor: red" -xrm "xosview*diskIdleColor: gray"

Hi Jasper !
Glad you like it !
I know of xosview since Suse6.2 on 133MHz P-I .
The source is horrible to read and understand , but mostly works .
I can understand people preferring the conky monitor .
I like it because I can resize and place the window wherever I want .
I don't use conky at all .
I had started to compile it in late 2010 , mainly focusing on the lmstemp meter with PATH to different files in /sys for the it87 temperature module for my boards from 2000/2001 back then and now for the coretemp temperature module to be able to monitor the CPU temperature if not somewhere in /proc/acpi available and not to exit if not found .
Xosview sources the /root/.Xdefaults file , that could have a part that could look like
Some of the variables seem not to be used eg .: xosview*diskUsedColor
That below are the two sections of the Xdefaults file used while compiling to set default values (not changed any values but False for all other meters) :
to have a comparison .
That's it so far for color preferences .
An intensive manpage can be found here : http://linux.die.net/man/1/xosview
SFR was faster ..
With your color scheme as I understand it , mine full-featured looks like this :

Depending on which puppy you run, you may also take a look at xosview from Ubuntu and Debian repos. There are several similar packages, like wmcpu, in Debian.
There is also iotop, which present a list, like top.

Hi Karl.
Thank you very much for your update; but (because of my defencies) I do not understand if you regard it as essential, as opposed to desirable.
Your new download shows numeric usage, but nothing shows in my graph (using Precise 5.6) whereas it does with your previous download which seemed perfect.
My regards and thanks

Hi Jasper ! It's because of the Puppy Philosophy to try to strip down as much as possible !
Likely
the first had a 10MB graph
xosview*diskBandwidth: 10000000 ! 10MB/s should be reasonable today for
and this one a 100MB graph
xosview*diskBandwidth: 100000000 ! 100MB/s
so tiny transfers of 4MB/s to slow SD cards would not show as graph .
Should show for huge transfers from HDD to HDD then .
Regards .

Hi again Karl,
Bletchley Park is near to my home and yet so far away - I'm glad you were able to disclose your secret code - personally, I would never have been able to decode a single word of your message - so now I really appreciate both your code and your explanation.
My regards and special thanks
Also - greetings and thanks to SFR, another ace coder, for his contribution here.

Hi Jasper !
In 2010 when I started to fiddle around with xosview , I was not able to get more than four letters to work in the label part . Now I figured out that the part
that I altered that time in xosview.cc occurs several times in different files :
bitfieldmeter.cc
bitmeter.cc
fieldmeter.cc
where the "XXXXX*" strings apparently indicate each X for a letter minus one X for linefeed or whatever (\0) .
I have left the four letters for the
void BitFieldMeter::drawused( int manditory ){
-function in bitfieldmeter.cc and fieldmeter.cc :
static const int onechar = parent_->textWidth( "X" );
static int xoffset = parent_->textWidth( "XXXXX" );
as is .
Here is some crytic explanation further down the file in the autoscale part :
/* For now, we can only print 3 characters, plus the optional
* suffix, without overprinting the legends. Thus, we can
* print 965, or we can print 34, but we can't print 34.7 (the
* decimal point takes up one character). bgrayson */
( That gbrew in my brain : proud : )
Added the const char *label, to linux/diskmeter.cc and linux/diskmeter.h , which I looked up in lmstemp.cc , since I knew it is possible tho change the label for it in Xdefaults .
Forgot to present Xdefaults :
I have chosen 2M for the USB1.1 specification .
In version 1.8.3 xosview*diskBandwidth was set to 10MB/s by default, now they increased it to 100MB/s , which I did not check before . But since you wanted it for USB mainly
But it is difficult to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify which we know it as Faith is good, control is better ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertrauen_ ... ist_besser![/url] -the ! seems to choke the BBcode [url] tag )
And in the Xrmcommandline.h there I disabled the possibility to fiddle with other meters now by wrapping them into the unset
#ifdef ALLEVERYTHING variable .
Todo would be to implement an option for +disk like
+disk DISKBANDWITH
, so that no hardcoded diskbandwithes in the configuration files needed .
-network maxbandwidth seems to have that already .
Hope that explains it a little .
