"gkrellm". It displays CPU, disk I/O, network activity, etc. I have a Dell laptop that is afflicted with the "no LEDs" condition and use gkrellm (displayed on all the workspaces) to let me know what's going on. Works like a charm. As it's available in source form, it should be possible to get it running on OS X. |

The MenuMeters thingie is really awesome... mostly because it's a FOSS application for MacOSx. I hate MacOSx. My wife has a Mac, and I'm the tech guy -- of course. It's a pain, because there is just enough FOSS in the thing to work almost well enough to do almost what I need it to do... but to make it work entirely well, it's inevitable that a proprietary application needs to be purchased to do what a GNU/Linux distro does at zero end-user cost. So, it's very encouraging that things like MenuMeters exist --- perhaps one day there'll even be a non-proprietary EXT-fs solution too - sigh....... |
