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).
