So, windowmaker, and a bunch of system monitoring dockapps in the dock. I don't normally have all those there but its interesting to try them out.
From the top: wmcalclock, wmcpuload, wmnd (network), wmbsdbatt, wmix, wmmemload, wmup (uptime), wmtop, and wmdiskmon at the bottom.
Sadly I don't have freebsd ports of wmbubblemon and wmhdplop!

For anyone interested in dockapps, the source is of course: https://www.dockapps.net/

Adhd ps view script to stare at while compiling: (add keyword as filter parameter)
There was something with the field indentation/formatting but I don't remember exactly what the 69 thing was for. It might be related to a particular ps version.

Code: 
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
while [ : ]
do
  clear
  ps -ww -vv | grep "$1" | grep -v COMMAND | cut -c 69-$((69+$(tput cols))) | sort | uniq
  sleep .2
  read -n1 -t.1
  [ $? = 0 ] && exit 0
done

Feel free to use my little script. You need to make a directory called "$HOME/eumetsat" for this to work.
And you need imagemagick installed, plus whatever program is going to be used to update the screen, the comments in the script give a couple of examples, of course you can use 'xv' and 'sxiv' as well, and probably other similar programs; xwallpaper works well for generic X11, eg if you're using something like fvwm. It will save an archive of the downloaded images in $HOME/eumetsat that you can use later to make an animated gif movie of interesting events, like this animation of named storm 'Noa' from April 2023.

Storm Noa: Power cuts and trees down in Devon and Cornwall

Hundreds of homes without power as gusts of more than 60mph (96.5km/h) are recorded.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Code: 
#!/usr/bin/bash
#eumetsat.sh
IMAGE=EUMETSAT_MSG_RGBNatColourEnhncd_WesternEurope.jpg
SOURCE="https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/latestImages"
cd /tmp
wget "${SOURCE}/$IMAGE"
datestr=$(date -Iminutes)
img=$(basename $IMAGE .jpg)
name="$img-${datestr}.jpg"
cp $IMAGE ${HOME}/eumetsat/$name
magick "$IMAGE" -crop 1278x852+0+0 "$IMAGE"
# screen update
# windowmaker: wmsetbg
wmsetbg $IMAGE
# kde plasma: use media frame widget
# generic X11: use xwallpaper
# xwallpaper --center $IMAGE
rm -f $IMAGE
cd -

I think I remember eumetsat used to have a note asking people not to download from them too frequently, to avoid hammering their server. I set up a cron job to pull the image down once per hour, since they only update the image at that frequency anyway. At night time all you will get is a black image with country outlines superimposed, when the hemisphere below the geostationary satellite is in shade.

AlfredoLlaquet, you have working RAM usage sensors with Plasma on FreeBSD?! Could you tell me which FreeBSD version you are using and if with ZFS or UFS? Or if you did something to make it work? AFAIK, it always reports full memory usage; astyle can you confirm this?

I had to try for a while different setups until I finally made it work. I don't remember exactly what I did. I'm sorry. I don't want to invest time in this topic either. Sorry for being a jerk. At least I replied.

No problem, just knowing that it is possible is already useful. Thank you for your reply. :)
