slstatus

slstatus is a suckless and lightweight status monitor for window managers which use WM_NAME as statusbar (e.g. DWM). It is written in pure C without any system() calls and only reads from files most of the time. It is meant as a better alternative to Bash scripts (inefficient) and Conky (bloated for this use).

The following information is included:

  • wifi percentage
  • battery percentage
  • cpu usage in percent
  • cpu temperature
  • ram usage in percent
  • alsa volume level in percent
  • disk usage
  • date
  • time

Multiple entries (battery, wifi signal, ...) are supported and everything can be reordered and customized via a C header file (similar to DWM).

Usage

Installation

Before you continue, please be sure that a C compiler, make and alsa-lib are installed. Then compile the program once using sudo make install. After that you may change config.h to your needs and recompile it after any change!

Starting

Put the following code in your ~/.xinitrc (or similar):

while true; do
    slstatus
done &

The loop is needed that the program runs after suspend to ram.
