FVWM: Showing nice graphs of system activity on desktop

[Siju George]

Hi,

I am making my own Fvwm Configuration from scratch.
How can I display nice graphs showing system activities like

o Processor Load
o Disk Usage
o ACPI status
o Digital Time and date

etc?

I am looking for some thing similar to the one in the right side of
this picture.

Loading Image...

Also how do I start up some applications automatically when Fvwm starts up.
And also how to make applications sticky only on certain pages?

Thanks & Regards

Siju

AddToFunc StartFunction I Test (Init) Foo

By marking them not sticky when you switch to certain pages. Hence
something like:

Style foo StickyAcrossPages, State 1

DestroyModuleConfig FE:*
*FE: new_page RunMe

AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent FE

DestroyFunc RunMe
AddToFunc RunMe
+ I PipeRead `[ $[page.nx] = "1" ] && [ $[page.ny] = "0" ] && \
echo "All (CurrentPage, State 1) WindowStyle !Sticky" || \
echo "All (CurrentPage, State 1, !Sticky) WindowStyle Sticky"`
