Ruby-wmii wireless status monitor

What?

Thanks to Mauricio's excellent ruby-wmii, it's now possible to script the wmii window manager in Ruby! I noticed a battery monitor was included, but a wireless signal monitor wasn't, so I wrote one.

How?

By adding wireless.rb to ~/.wmii-3/plugins/wireless.rb, and the following to your wmiirc-config.rb:


plugin_config["wireless:wireless"]["interface"] = "ath0"

plugin_config["wireless:wireless"]["interval"] = 5 #change if you disagree with this default



from "wireless" do

  use_bar_applet "wireless", 400

end



Enjoy.
