Monitor bubba/downloads with this program.
Posted: 19 Sep 2008, 17:20
Hi all,
Maybe I'm too late and all you bubba users out there have upgraded to the new great bubba two, what do I know, but here is a new perl program I've written (probably only compatible with the old one). This one will do pretty much the same thing as the firefox plugin I wrote, but this one doesn't require a browser. It does however require perl (and wget).
It will fetch information from bubba and print it in a format of your choice. The output format is controlled using tags in a template file, making it suitable to generate input for dynamic/pipe menus in window managers that support such features (like Openbox or pekwm). I use it to generate a dynamic menu in my Openbox root menu. Here's a screenshot that show what it can look like:
The window at bottom left show the template file that generate the input for the system menu you see. From this menu I can see the usual stuff and I can also stop a download by clicking that menu item.
