Out of curiosity, would you mind listing some of the key differences between "ssm" and conky. I've always found conky to be something of a cpu hog (relatively speaking). Really, I'm mostly curious to know what you didn't like about conky and what you did to change those things in ssm.

Thanks.

SSM = Coded in bash, not as resource taking, no problems with xcompmgr, no icons flickering

Conky = To heavy and to many options

I ported this script (ssm.sh) to perl because I was bored. Have fun:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# pSSM - Perl's Simple System Monitor v0.1
# A simple system monitor rewritten from 
# Tim Jansson's shell script.
# Ported to Perl by F.
#

print "--------------\n";
# --- General ---
print "dist.........: "; $dist = qx/cat \/etc\/*-release/;
print "$dist";
print "hostname.....: "; $host = qx/hostname/;
print "$host";
print "kernel.......: "; $kern = qx/uname -sr/;
print "$kern";

print "--------------\n";
# --- Memory ---
$memory = qx/free -m/;
if($memory =~ /Mem:\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)/) {
        print "total memory.: $1 MB\n";
        print "used memory..: $2 MB\n";
        print "free memory..: $3 MB\n";
}
print "--------------\n";

# --- Uptime ---
$uptime = qx/uptime/;
if($uptime =~ /up\s+(\d+):(\d+),\s+(\d+)\s+/) {
        print "uptime.......: $1:$2 hours\n";
        print "users........: $3\n";
} elsif($uptime =~ /up\s+(\d+)\s+min,\s+(\d+)/) {
        print "uptime........: $1 minutes\n";
        print "users.........: $2\n";
}
print "--------------\n";

# --- CPU --- 
$cpuinfo = qx/cat \/proc\/cpuinfo/;
if($cpuinfo =~ /model\ name\s+:\s+(.*)/) {
        print "model........: $1\n";
}
if($cpuinfo =~ /MHz\s+:\s+(\d+)/) {
        print "MHz..........: $1\n";
}
$procinfo = qx/ps aux \|wc -l/;
print "processes....: $procinfo";

if($uptime =~ /average:\s+(\d+).(\d+),\s+(\d+).(\d+),\s+(\d+).(\d+)/) {
        print "load average.: $1.$2, $3.$4, $5.$6\n";
}
print "--------------\n";

# --- Diskspace ---
$diskinfo = qx/df -h/;
print $diskinfo;        # this information can't get any clearer

Nice. I really don't know anything about perl, but how can you make the memory line not count cached memory?

eg- your script says "total memory.: 494 MB used memory..: 485 MB free memory..: 9 MB", but free says "Mem: 506636 496472 10164 0 0 179780" and I want 496472-179780? Know what I mean?

Just updated it, if someone is still interested
you will be able to find the current version at:
