CPU and RAM monitor for use with tmux
A simple, lightweight program provided for system monitoring in the status line of tmux.
The memory monitor displays the used and available memory.
The CPU usage monitor outputs a percent CPU usage over all processors. It also displays a textual bar graph of the current percent usage.
Example output:
1.1/3.8GB ▄ 76.5% ▇ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | 1 2 3 4 5
- Currently used memory.
- Available memory.
- Memory usage bar graph.
- CPU usage percentage.
- CPU usage bar graph.
Only Mac OSX is supported.
- >= CMake -2.6
- C++ compiler with C++11 support (e.g. gcc/g++ >= 4.6)
There are links to the source code at the project homepage.
cd <source dir> cmake . make
su - make install logout
Build and Install Using tpm
Include the plugin in your .tmux.conf, the same file you'll set the
configuration in, below.
set -g @plugin 'svanharmelen/tmux-mem-cpu'
Configuring tmux
Edit $HOME/.tmux.conf to display the program's output in status-left or
status-right. For example:
set -g status-interval 2 set -g status-left "#S #[fg=green,bg=black]#(tmux-mem-cpu --interval 2)#[default]" set -g status-left-length 60
If you installed using tpm, you must specify the full path to the
tmux-mem-cpu script, like below:
set -g status-right "#[fg=green]#($TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH/tmux-mem-cpu/tmux-mem-cpu --interval 2)#[default]"
Note that the interval argument to tmux-mem-cpu should be the same number of seconds that status-interval is set at.
The full usage:
Usage: tmux-mem-cpu [OPTIONS]
Available options:
-h, --help
Prints this help message
-i <value>, --interval <value>
Set tmux status refresh interval in seconds. Default: 1 second
