gkrellexec

==========

**gkrellexec** is a plugin for gkrellm that displays the return status of

arbitrary shell commands.

Up to 10 shell commands can be specified, each with a name, timeout and

different times to sleep after a success or a failure.

gkellexec displays a panel in gkrellm, with one line per process, showing its

last exit status (**T** for timeout, **O** for ok, **E** for error) and its

name.

## Installation

### Debian

gkrellexec's debian package is kept in https://packagecloud.io/lpenz/debian.

Follow the link for installation instructions.

### Manually

To build it, run *cmake .* and then *make*. gkrellm's header files must be

installed.

To install, you can either run *make install* so that gkrellexec.so is copied

to the default ``/usr/lib/gkrellm2`` or you can copy it to

``$HOME/.gkrellm2/plugins``.

## Configuration

Enable it in gkrellm's plugin configuration.

On the plugins's configuration screen, there is a tab for each process with the

configurable options. The process is disabled if it has no name. The shell

command is run with ``/bin/sh -c ""``, so that shell syntax is fully

available.
