there is a guide (2 steps) and an example in the readme.
One thing I use this for is to display the window title of the active window. Sure i could do this by just adding a command in genmon which would output the active window title. But the problem is that genmon works on a set interval, and i don't want to check for and print the window title every second, that would be wasteful, and also get weird if the title changes faster than than the interval. Instead I have a script that watches for window title/focus change and when that occurs it triggers genmonify -o windowtitle "$title"
.
Ahoj,
thanks for this software.
I did not really work out how this exactly works.
I suggest a feature request for the documentation to add examples:
/usr/share/doc/genmonify/examples/
which contains ready-made example configuration,README.md
one example with a concrete module showing step by step what do to.For me it is not clear what holds as a valid "module" for genmon;
xfce4-genmon-plugin
is a plugin which just showsstdout
of a command one can specify manually so I can enter any complex command I want in the preferences dialogue of the plugin.Regards!
