Not sure where to post this (here seems as good as any given the old link is dead), but sampler includes a option to show the likes of 'top' on a remote system using ssh (along with other cli 'graphical' things)
Basically you run sampler with a -c <file>
where the sampler config file contains whatever things you want to draw, such as ...
Code: Select all
sparklines:
- title: CPU usage
position: [[1, 18], [53, 18]]
rate-ms: 500
scale: 0
sample: ps -A -o %cpu | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
asciiboxes:
- title: time
position: [[0, 0], [60, 18]]
rate-ms: 500
color: 43
sample: date +%X
border: false
font: 2d
You can also select and move/resize each item.
Installation is easy
Code: Select all
wget https://github.com/sqshq/sampler/releases/download/v1.1.0/sampler-1.1.0-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/sampler
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sampler@rufwoof very cool! I installed and am playing around with it.
I fixed the link above.
I really like facilities such as Xnest. I wonder what can be done in Wayland world, which is so very different?
Yes, I know, you can always use a mixed X/Wayland environment via XWayland and I guess use Xnest or Xephyr in there, but if going pure Wayland, eventually, would like to keep it that way.
