tmx

tmx is a short, simple, startup script for a glorious tmux HUD. Tmux is initialized with this bash script that opens up a tmux with a special .tmux.conf file depending on the type of connection:

1. .tmux.conf: standard 
2. .tmux.conf.nested: nested tmux session
3. .tmux.conf.mini: small resolution screen version

Launch the script with

tmx $session_name
# $session_name is any name for the default session
# $session_name can be "-d" which is default and names the session after the HOST

It is recommended that you call this as soon as you open the shell, so put this at the end your shell rc file (e.g. .zshrc, .bashrc or .bash_profile) file

 if [[ ! -n $TMUX ]] && [[ "$COMP_TYPE" != "central" ]] && [[ ! -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]] ; then
    # This checks if tmux exists, and if it does, runs the startup script tmx
    {  hash tmux 2>&- && tmx $(hostname -s) ; } || echo >&2 "tmux did not startup ..."
 fi

Other binaries are "statusline", "weather", "batterpower", and "cpuUsage", which are setup to grab information for your tmux status-line.

• Weather grabs an rss feed for Tokyo, but just grab that link and go to the source to find a city near you. Weather requires a variable to be in the environment $LOGS_DIR, which it uses to save a data file for rapid access and a symbols file for easy readability. Example symbols file is in "example/weather.symbols". I recommended that you put LOGS_DIR in a directory like Dropbox so that you keep your symbols and data linked between computers. Even better, setup the following cron (by typing crontab -e) to update your data file every couple hours. You don't want to update too often or you will be hurting the bandwidth of the rss feed, so be conservative. Use the following to update weather every two hours

    $ crontab -e 
    # in the editor, write this:
    0 */2 * * * /path_to_bin/weather --dump 
  

• Batterypower is setu to work on OS X, if anyone wants it to work on linux, please let me know some configuration info to grab that information and I'll update the script.

• CpuUsage displays "cput% mem% and load#" and this works in both OS X and linux machines that I have tested on.
