Installation

go install github.com/xpetit/statusbar@latest

lm-sensors is required. Add an entry to crontab -e:

@reboot sleep 2 && /home/USERNAME/go/bin/statusbar &

Usage

nc -U /var/run/user/1000/statusbar.sock

With xfce4-genmon-plugin I somehow need to run this command instead:

sh -c 'nc -U /var/run/user/1000/statusbar.sock </dev/null'
