README

+Generic Monitor XFce4 panel plugin (GenMon)
+===========================================
+
+
+1 -	Description
+	-----------
+The GenMon plugin cyclically spawns the indicated script/program, captures its output and displays the result into the panel.
+
+
+2 -	Installation
+	------------
+Do the usual stuff:
+	- gunzip
+	- tar xf
+	- ./configure --prefix=<XFce4InstallationDir>	(e.g. /usr/local)
+	- make
+	- make install  (as root)
+	
+You should then end up with:
+        libgenmon.so
+        libgenmon.la
+installed in <XFce4InstallationDir>/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/
+and
+        genmon.desktop
+installed in <XFce4InstallationDir>/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/
+
+        xfce4-genmon-plugin.mo
+installed in <XFce4InstallationDir>/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/
+where XX represents the languages supported by genmon plugin
+
+You are encouraged to delete the installed libgenmon.la
+
+3 -	Testing
+	-------
+
+Use GenMon for invoking the provided "datetime" shell script.
+Then the current date/time should be continuously updated in your panel.
+
+If the plugin displays XXX it means that the spawn of the command has failed.
+
+4 -	Extra
+	-----
+
+A simple Perl script, disktemp, that retrieves the temperature of a disk
+using the smartmontools is provided.
+To install it, as root you may do:
+	- cp disktemp /usr/local/bin
+	- cd /usr/local/bin
+	- chown root:root	disktemp
+	- chmod a+rx		disktemp
+	- chmod u+s 		disktemp
+Then run (you need to have smartd/smarctl installed on your system)
+	- disktemp <disk>	(e.g. /dev/hda)
+If this works, you should be able to use GenMon for continually monitoring
+your disk temperature.
+
+5 -	New Features
+	-----------
+
+The new version of genmon plugin can also display an icon (which can be a
+clickable icon), a tooltip, a text and a bar.
+
+To display these items, the script called by genmon should return a simple
+XML string.
+
+The XML tags which can be used are :
+<txt>Text to display</txt>
+<img>Path to the image to display</img>
+<tool>Tooltip text</tool>
+<bar>Pourcentage to display in the bar</bar>
+<click>The command to be executed when clicking on the image</click>
+
+If None of the tags are detected in the result of the command, the plugin
+returns to its original behaviour (displaying the result of the command).
+
+No tag is mandatory: for instance, you can display a tooltip without and image...
+
+The text between the <txt> and </txt>, and the <tool> and </tool> tags can use pango markup for style and color.
+
+Here's a simple example of a plugin displaying the Temp of the CPU in the panel
+(with an icon) and the Freq in a Tooltip:
+
+#!/bin/bash
+echo "<img>/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/16x16/apps/gnome-monitor.png</img>"
+
+declare -i cpuFreq
+cpuFreq=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz" | sed 's/\ \ */ /g' | cut -f3 -d" " | cut -f1 -d".")
+
+if [ $cpuFreq -ge 1000 ]
+then
+  cpu=$(echo $cpuFreq | cut -c1).$(echo $cpuFreq | cut -c2)GHz
+else
+  cpu=${cpuFreq}MHz
+fi
+echo "<txt>"$(cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature | sed 's/\ \ */ /g' | cut -f2 -d" ")" C</txt>"
+echo "<tool>Freq: "$cpu"</tool>"
+
+PS: Depending on your configuration, you should change the image path.
+
+You can find more scripts in scripts/mon*. 
+
+The xfce4-genmon-plugin now supports xfce4-panel plugin-event functionality. Currently it only supports the 
+"refresh" action which resets the timer and causes the associated command to execute again. You can use this 
+command remotely or at the end of a script to force the panel plugin to refresh.
+
+To refresh the plugin, issue the command:
+
+    xfce4-panel --plugin-event=genmon-X:refresh:bool:true
+    
+where "genmon-X" is the widget name of the particular genmon instance. To get this name, go to the panel 
+properties screen and on the Items tab, hover your mouse over the genmon plugin to get it's internal name.
+
+GTK3 CSS styling capabilites have been enhanced. Please refer to the 'CSS Styling.txt' document for more information.
