gkrellm_plugins/README.md

My GKrellM setup

I migrated from linux mint desklets to GKrellM i needed to use some plugins and write custom script and so i wanted to save it somewhere so i wont lose it

This repo contains:

• fmonitor.so source: https://github.com/jmakovicka/gkrellm-fmonitor

  • file monitor plugin a simple plugin that can show output of a command or contents of a file as a KEY:VALUE:ALERT array and display it in GKrellM
  • I am using for monitoring SSL certs on websites i host or manage

• gkrellmlauncch.so source: https://gkrellmlaunch.sourceforge.net/

  • simple plugin that allows to make buttons to exexute commands
  • I am using for turning ON and OFF my VPN connections launch SSH tunnels and sessions and also running some programs that need root privileges

• multiping.so source: https://github.com/jmakovicka/gkrellm-multiping

  • simple plugin that allows pings to multiple IP addresses
  • i use it to monitor currently connected devices to my VPN

• check.sh

  • simple script that in conjunction with fmonitor plugin displays monitored domains nicely in std out
  • you need to add it to fmonitor plugin as | /path/to/script/check.sh

In order to use the plugins you need to copy them to ~/user/.gkrellm2/plugins they are precomplied so you dont need to compile them yourself
