List. I'm using Qubes 3.2/XFCE4 and I want to add an indicator to show a status based on the contents of a file in dom0. I can set the contents of the file to 1 or 0, Yes or No, etc...from the vm where I am running a VPN connection. I want the panel to indicate if I am running the VPN connection or not. I have tried the "Generic Monitor" which allegedly shows the output of a command, as it would be logical to cat the file with a certain frequency and update the displayed results, but the only thing the "Generic Monitor" displays is the label given it.
You can't `cat` a file, the command you configure in the applet has to be an executable. You also have to specify the full path, '~' or $HOME won't work.
Here's for instance the output of a script that displays my batteries' status + current power:
dom0 $ ~/bin/batstat 65 | 79 30 | 34 P: 6.9 The script is configured as `/home/user/bin/batstat` in the applet. (I'm on R4 but I think I used to have the same setup with R3.2). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
