lol to be honest i thought of doing that 
But i was thinking something more like css divs, where you can set the colour of the div and give it a border 
Your idea works too, though (lol)

Im thinking about writing a FAQ for torsmo, because it seems there are a lot of little things that can, and have been done.
If anyone has something, like a workaround, or a patch not already mentioned in this thread (little things, like I use mutt for mail, and mutt doesnt update mbox access times, so i have to add an execi touch to make the mailcount accurate, those kind of things) can you either post here or PM me?
hopefully ill have a copy of it finished soon, and maybe we can get it into gentoo docs... hopefully

i have a beta of it, wrote it just now, tell me what you think / what to add or change:
http://www.sover.net/~ljohnstn/torsmo_faq.txt
if anyone would like to turn it into pretty html, youre welcome to, and if you want me to, ill host it on my site. i dont have time for it now, so its just ugly plain text.

I wrote a patch to show the CPU frequency. It is already merged into the cvs version, so the ebuild should pick it up. I still have the patch for version .17 though.

Hi, I love gkrellm. Though recently I saw torsmo mentioned in a "which monitor app is better" type thread and decided to give it a go. I loved it, pure and simple. Though there was one problem I found with it which made me stick with gkrellm.
Seeing this is the place for torsmo discussion (or so it seems) can anyone tell me how to stop the insane flicker you get with more regular refresh times. I had torsmo updating once per second, and when it was redrawn to the root window you'd get screen flicker. I don't understand why this would be happening, or how to rectify the situation, but it's basically the only thing stopping me from using torsmo. I'd like to have an update interval of at the very minimum 1 second. Gkrellm can do this no probs without flicker.
Any ideas?

i just tried 1 second as update interval and no flickering at all.
if you use fvwm, then try "BugOpts FlickeringMoveWorkaround True". this stopped flickering when moving gnome-terminal for me and is probably the reason that my torsmo updates smooth. |

the reason i can give you, relatively easily.
when torsmo updates, it gets rid of the old drawing, and draws a new one. the flicker is the time after the old one has been destroyed while the new one is being drawn.
the solution is obvious, but slightly dificult to implement (if anyone has experiance in C and x programming, this might be a good project .
its called double buffering. what it means, is the update is drawn into the memory (could be video, could be regular) and then once its finished, the existing drawing is removed and instantly replaced with the new one = no flicker.....
something to work on...

A quick note to IMAP checking.
To prevent long delays when waiting for fechmail's output you can split the process. The bash script is invoked by cron every minute and writes output to a text file. You can then insert the results from the file to torsmo.

Nice tips here, but because I didn't want to install fetchmail for IMAP and I don't have Thunderbird for POP, I've written a small python script to check my emails. Maybe it is also useful for you.

very slick, i will add it to the tutorial, if i get time (schools eating up a bit of my time
[EDIT] well i decided to procrastinate a little, and its up there now,
http://www.sover.net/~ljohnstn/torsmo_faq.txt
[/EDIT]
much better idea then fetchmail (i always thought that was overkill, btu i didnt have a better idea)...
you may have just made me learn python, looks nice and effective, and in this case makes more sense than C..... gotta broaden myself

 I've tried to get Torsmo integrated into an FvwmButton. The effect is nice but at its first refresh, torsmo disappear. If someone has a working conf that he is willing to share ...

Cool, thanks. And yes, python is just great. It is easy to use and very effective.
But now I have two improvements for my script. First, to get rid of the newline on the script's output, just replace all print-statements with sys.stdout.write(). And second, if you don't have perl, you don't need to emerge it, just use the script below.
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/python
import base64, sys
arg = sys.argv[1:]
if 0<len(arg)<2:
print base64.encodestring(arg[0])
sys.exit()
else:
print "Usage: ./base64encode.py password"
sys.exit()
|
And then I have modified killfires awk-program to show my WLAN link-quality:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/iwconfig eth1|awk '{split($29,x,/=/);printf x[2];exit;}' RS="/f"

I'm curious...is there a way to show the temps of a dual cpu system using i2c and such? I have it working now, but I'm getting only 1 cpu temp and it's 94C. So I'm guessing that's either supposed to be F and not C, or else it's maybe combining the two readings (since CPU Usage gets combined...showing 196% while running two instances of F@H). Any clues?

I think the problem is this whacky Tyan server board. I have had problems with it for as long as I've had it, so I'm not going to worry that the cpu temps are being reported as 85-99C each. I have no stablity problems, I'm not overclocking, and I'm using the fan/sinks they came boxed with. But thanks for the .torsmorc, gave me some ideas
