http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/launcher#plugin_events Adding an option to command line "xfce4-panel --plugin-event" to refresh genmon icon without having to wait for it's period. http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/launcher#plugin_events
Mass-reassign all bugs from florian@ to goodies-dev@, thanks for the maintenance work! (and sorry for the bugmail spam..)
Workaround I'm using: # If we have genmon plugin running, restart it, so we do not need # to wait for next refresh period # FIXME: Some check if that is "our" genmon plugin would be nice :-) genmon_pid=$( pgrep --full '.*/usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins/libgenmon.so.*' ) if echo "$genmon_pid" | grep --quiet '^[0-9]*$'; then /usr/bin/kill -s USR1 $genmon_pid fi
Created attachment 6697 Add remote-event refresh plugin functionability Attached is a patch that adds the ability to refresh genmon using xfce4-panel's remote-event functionality. To refresh: "xfce4-panel --plugin-event=genmon-X:refresh:bool:true" where genmon-X is the genmon widget id (e.g. genmon-7)
Nice work ToZ, works fine here ! Pushed to master in http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-genmon-plugin/commit/?id=76bd6d78220ca0c5af7beaa6700a271459d6806b Do you want to take maintainership of genmon plugin ?
And marking bug as fixed
Landry, If there is no current maintainer of the genmon plugin, then yes, I would like take over the maintainership. I've sent you an email with the request. Thanks
