Bubbainfo

Only for BUBBA|SERVER

What is this?

This is a perl program I wrote to monitor bubba status, like uptime, disk usage and downloads, outside of Firefox. It will do pretty much the same thing as the Firefox plugin I wrote. I use the program for dynamic/pipe menu output (see screenshot below) to my Openbox system menu. This way, I can easily monitor the progress of my downloads, but I've also made it possible to stop any download by selecting that particular download menu item.

Installation & usage

Download the script, extract the files and read the documentation. Detailed documentation is in the perl program, just start it with the '--man' option for a detailed description.
