XFce4 Netload plugin
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plugin should work on all operating systems supported by Xfce4. On Linux
|
|
and FreeBSD the code for reading the netload is integrated. The code for this is
|
|
based on IceWM from Marko Macek (http://www.icewm.org). Other operating systems
|
|
such as NetBSD, OpenBSD or Sun Solaris are supported by libgtop2 from the GNOME
|
|
desktop (but GNOME is not required by this library). This is because I have no
|
|
testing machines for all this operating systems and some systems require a
|
|
Client/Server model, i.e. there are root permissions needed to get out system
|
|
load and the Xfce4 panel is not running suid root. The library made this easier
|
|
to implement (it's implemented by the library and I didn't have to do that).
|
|
|
|
The panel plugin is based on the sample-plugin from Benedikt Meurer and on the
|
|
xfce4-systemload-plugin from Riccardo Persichetti. The layout is the same as the
|
|
systemload-plugin. This made programming very easy and looks good, too.
|
|
|
|
I'm not planning making much improvements in the future so if you want to take
|
|
over developement, just drop me a note. I just programmed it because I needed it
|
|
but I plan to maintain it so that it's running with the most current stable
|
|
release of Xfce.
|
|
|
|
If you have translations for your language, please mail me. I'll include it in
|
|
the distribution!
