Tmux cpu status
Enables displaying cpu percentage and status icon in Tmux status-right.
CPU:
CPU: ❏ 8.7%
This is done by introducing 2 new format strings that can be added to
status-right
option:
#{cpu_icon}
- will display a cpu status icon#{cpu_percentage}
- will show cpu percentage
Usage
Add #{cpu_icon}
or #{cpu_percentage}
format strings to existing
status-right
Tmux option. Example:
# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-right "CPU: #{cpu_icon} #{cpu_percentage} | %a %h-%d %H:%M "
Optional requirement (Linux, BSD, OSX)
iostat
or sar
are the best way to get an accurate cpu percentage
A fallback is included using ps -aux
but could be inaccurate.
Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf
:
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu'
Hit prefix + I
to fetch the plugin and source it.
If format strings are added to status-right
, they should now be visible.
Manual Installation
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf
:
run-shell ~/clone/path/cpu.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
If format strings are added to status-right
, they should now be visible.
Changing icons
By default, these icons are displayed:
- cpu: "❏"
You can change these defaults by adding the following to .tmux.conf
(the
following lines are not in the code block so that emojis can be seen):
- set-option -g @cpu_icon "😎"
Don't forget to reload TMUX environment ($ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
)
after you do this.
Limitations
- CPU change most likely won't be instant.
It will take some time (15 - 60 seconds) for the value to change. This depends on thestatus-interval
TMUX option.
