waybar-active-services

Screenshot: Screenshot

This project was made mainly to monitor if a backup is running on my system. It will show a red update icon on the Waybar with the number of services (backups) that are running. The infotip will show the active services and it will open a list of all the watched services with their status if clicked.

Requirements

Installation

  • Put the shell script inside a folder that waybar can reach. I personally use ~/.config/waybar/scripts/
  • Make the script executable. sudo chmod +x {path_to_script}
  • Edit the file and change the services to your own.

Note: I use foot as my terminal emulator, if you use something else, change it on the "on-click": "foot -e bash -c ... line of the module configuration.

Waybar Configuration

Add "custom/active-services" to your modules at the top of the config file. Either modules-left, modules-center or modules-right

Module configuration

    "custom/active-services": {
        "exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/check_active_services.sh",
        "return-type": "json",
        "interval": 15,
        "on-click": "foot -e bash -c '~/.config/waybar/scripts/check_active_services.sh --details; read -p \"Press Enter to close...\"'",
        "format": "{}",
    "tooltip":true,
    },

Note: Since I'm using this as a running backups monitor, I chose the icon that fits. If you want something else. Simply choose another icon from Nerd Fonts on the line 55 of the script.
