DaeMon plasmoid (system daemon monitor for kde)

Hi!

I created a small plasmoid for KDE to monitor/start/stop running daemons on an archlinux-system. For me as a developer and someone who sometimes uses this and that and sometimes not it is quite usefull. Hope you might enjoy it, too. Here is the link:

Yes this is indeed a good idea. I am working on a way to get this running smoothly on Kubuntu and will add the restart-functionality to the next version.

Thank you for your idea!

Re: DaeMon plasmoid (system daemon monitor for kde)

I'm running kdemod 4.3 and have the lastest version of the daemon plasmoid installed but getting "script initialization failed error" messages.

the following are the message from .xsession-errors

Traceback (most recent call last):

Re: DaeMon plasmoid (system daemon monitor for kde)

Coincidentally, I have been working this problem today in an effort to learn plasmoid programming in python.

Try applying the following changes to main.py in the DaeMon directory:  (The path is probably:
~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/DaeMon/contents/code/main.py

<     files = data[QString("files.all")]
---
>     files = data[QString("files.all")].toStringList()
166,169c166,169
<     self.settings["polling_interval"] = int(self.cg.readEntry("polling_interval", "2000").toString())
<     self.settings["polling_directory"] = self.cg.readEntry("polling_directory", "/var/run/daemons").toString()
<     self.settings["daemon_directory"] = self.cg.readEntry("daemon_directory", "/etc/rc.d").toString()
<     self.settings["pid_suffix"] = self.cg.readEntry("pid_suffix","").toString()
