wmfu
=====

wmfu displays all sorts of information about your Linux (laptop) system.
It is designed for WindowMaker, but can also be run in other window managers.
It does not need external custom libraries, but does need a recent kernel,
since it uses ACPI and proc/sys pseudo-filesystems to read system data.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


INSTALL
=======

Just "make" it.  You only need wmfu executable.
"make install [prefix=...]" will build everything and will attempt to install
in the location pointed to by prefix (default: /usr/local).

If build fails on linux, it is probably because it can't find wireless.h
You need to install wireless-tools package.  If you don't have it, or just
don't want to install it, you need 2.6.x kernel sources and you have to modify
linux/system.c to include <linux/wireless.h>


USAGE
=====

MAIN PANEL:
			current time (A)
			      v
			+-----------+
	drag zone    ->	| =  time x | <- close icon
			+-----------+
			| CPU  load%| <- average CPU load (B)
			+-----+-----+
      (C) best wlink ->	|wifi~|temp°| <- max temperature (D)
			+-----+-----+
      battery symbol ->	|bat time ac| <- AC/charging symbol
			+-----------+
			      ^
		battery estimate and meter (E)

Left click asks more information about a specific topic:

A - TIME PANEL:
			+-----------+
			| dayofweek |
			|  day mon  | <- current date
			|    year   |
			+-----------+
			|   UPTIME  |
			|days hr:min| <- uptime
			+-----------+

B - CPU PANEL (use mouse scroll for up to 8 CPUs):
			+-----------+
	  cpu number ->	|CPUn freq M| <- current frequency in MHz
     load percentage ->	|load% govnr| <- scaling governor
			+-----------+
	  cpu number ->	|CPUn freq M| <- current frequency
     load percentage ->	|load% govnr| <- scaling governor
			+-----------+
			| MEM usage%| <- memory
			| SWP usage%| <- swap
			+-----------+

C - NET PANEL (use mouse scroll for up to 8 interfaces):
			+-----------+
      interface name ->	|ifnam wifi~| <- wlink (only for wireless)
			|essid      | <- ESSID (only for wireless)
	   ipv4 addr ->	|xx.yy.zz.ww|
			+-----------+
      interface name ->	|ifnam wifi~| <- wlink (only for wireless)
			|essid      | <- ESSID (only for wireless)
	   ipv4 addr ->	|xx.yy.zz.ww|
			+-----------+

D - TEMPERATURE PANEL (use mouse scroll for up to 16 sensors):
			+-----------+
	 sensor name ->	|nam tmp°max| <- current and maximum temperature
			+-----------+
	 sensor name ->	|nam tmp°max| <- current and maximum temperature
			+-----------+
	 sensor name ->	|nam tmp°max| <- current and maximum temperature
			+-----------+
	 sensor name ->	|nam tmp°max| <- current and maximum temperature
			+-----------+
	 sensor name ->	|nam tmp°max| <- current and maximum temperature
			+-----------+

E - BATTERY PANEL:
			+-----------+
	battery name ->	|name       |
			|status     | <- status: CHARGING/DISCHARGING/STEADY
    current capacity ->	|load% hr:mn| <- charging/discharging estimate time
	       meter ->	|"""""""""""|
	battery name ->	|name       |
	      status ->	|status     |
    current capacity ->	|load% hr:mn| <- charging/discharging estimate time
	       meter ->	|"""""""""""|

TODO
====

0. optimize for speed
1. implement visible/audible alerts
2. brokenwm for some window managers
3. put additional info in main panel (in place of "CPU" string)
4. more stuff in detail panels: network, calendar (compress date to SA 12 DEC)
5. read HDD temperature (use smartmontools/hddtemp)
6. use iwlib instead of manually scanning wireless interfaces
7. add more systems: BSD etc
8. handle fahrenheit temperatures
9. implement consistent UI: left-click, right-click


Have fun,
