X-Sys README
|
|
============
|
|
What is X-Sys?
|
|
|
|
X-Sys is a plugin for X-Chat that allows you to display your current system statistics in
|
|
a channel, private conversation or just in an echo to yourself for testing purposes.
|
|
It is supported on Linux, running on various architectures. Right now x86, ppc, ppc64, sparc,
|
|
sparc64 and alpha are supported, with parisc and ia64 implemented but awaiting testing.
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
Who wrote this?
|
|
|
|
X-Sys is originally a Mike Shoup creation, from the very first alpha releases to the open-source
|
|
version 1 releases. But then, things stalled. For a few months (more like a year almost)
|
|
Mike didn't work on X-Sys. The last version that had been written was 1.0.5.
|
|
The website was gone, and I (Tony) couldn't find Mike. So, I took over and improved it to my liking.
|
|
It turned out that Mike was still around, though, he contacted me and started development again,
|
|
now called version 2, a complete rewrite. Various 1.9 betas came out that I contributed patches to,
|
|
and starting with version 2.0.0 I'm maintaining xchat-xsys again, this time with Mike's blessing.
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
What do I need?
|
|
|
|
- X-Chat (regular or Gnome version)
|
|
- Audacious 1.4 or higher
|
|
- D-Bus (for communication with Audacious)
|
|
- a working toolchain (compiler, binutils, etc).
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
What if I get errors about u8 not being defined?
|
|
|
|
Sorry to hear that, it appears your linux distribution neglected to install essential headers on your
|
|
system. On Debian & Ubuntu, apt-get install pciutils-dev should make it happy.
|

COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
X-Sys 2 has the following implemented commands:
|
|
/XSYS & /EXSYS - Output current version, either to channel or echoed on screen.
|
|
/CPUINFO & /ECPUINFO - Echoes or says current cpu statistics
|
|
/SYSUPTIME & /ESYSUPTIME - Echoes or says current uptime
|
|
/OSINFO & /EOSINFO - Echoes or says various OS statistics
|
|
/SOUND & /ESOUND - Echoes or says the current sound card, as determined by ALSA
|
|
/NETDATA & /ENETDATA - Echoes or says total amount transferred through a network
|
|
interface. Use like: `/netdata eth0' (where eth0 is a network interface)
|
|
/NETSTREAM & /ENETSTREAM - Echoes or says amount of bandwidth being used.
|
|
Use like: `/netstream eth0' (where eth0 is a network interface)
|
|
/DISKINFO & /EDISKINFO - Echoes or says free space on partitions. The DISK command has a
|
|
few arguments as follows:
|
|

|
|
/mount - Displays free space for that specific mount point
|
|
No arguments just displays total free space
|

/ETHER & /EETHER - Echoes or says the current network card on the PCI bus

/DISTRO & /EDISTRO - Echoes or says which distro you're running
|
|
If this doesn't work for your distro, look for a *-release file or similar in /etc
|
|
E-mail this to chainsaw@gentoo.org
|
|
|
|
and the big one:
|
|
/SYSINFO & /ESYSINFO - Complete system information!
|
|
|
|
Two output control commands:
|
|
/XSYS2FORMAT , No arguments, it will print just the current formatting string.
|
|
It will take any arguments to it as the formatting string.
|
|
The formatting string can consist of any letter/numbers, and is used to format
|
|
the output. The following special symbols can be used:
|
|
|
|
%B : Bold
|
|
%Cnn : Foreground Color, where nn is a number corresponding to a mIRC color
|
|
%Cnn,nn : Foreground,Background Color
|
|
%R : Reverse Foreground/Background Colors
|
|
%O : Reset Color and Format (thats an 'oh' not a 'zero (0)')
|
|
%C : Reset Color
|
|
%U : Underline
|
|
|
|
/PLAYING will either print or allow you to set the text for /np.
|
|
The default is now_playing, but you can set this to whatever text you prefer.
|
|
|
|
/PERCENTAGES will allow you to set whether to use percentages in plugin output or not.
|
|
Percentages are enabled by default. Use a zero value to disable, and a non-zero value
|
|
to enable. If unsure, use 1.
|
|
|
|
/NP & /ENP - Reports what's currently playing in Audacious.
