First

[Hippyjake]

Having an issue with the script. The last update to Argos broke something. Issue 19 is the first mention of it. Its your script so, first issue on your repo!!

[fadeouter]

thanks, will figure it out!

[fadeouter]

@Hippyjake unfortunately I can't reproduce this issue on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, but tried to add | tr -d '[]|'
idk did I fixed the problem (
could you report please, did problem fixed now?

[VVhitehead]

@fadeouter btw your script is by far the most advanced script specifically 4 argos, I modified it a bit 2 suit my dark theme and tweaked some stuff around back and forth, but the thing is dope. If you wan't my tweaks of his extensions @Hippyjake I can share them if @fadeouter is fine with that.

I guess we can ask @fadeouter to add a license to his repo. So that you can actually do that @WhiteheadV 😄
@fadeouter What happens if you change ORS=\\\\n to ORS=\\n ?

[fadeouter]

@WhiteheadV i'm fine, you can paste code here or at pastebin etc. Also, I will add a licence info right now.

@jomic

with ORS="\\\\n"
20.5 gnome-shell\n0 systemd\n0 kthreadd\n

with ORS="\\n"

3    ibus-daemon
3    Xorg
3    gnome-shell

P.S. ORS="\\n" tells Argos to show every new line of output as a single menu item.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/158584/change-tops-sorting-back-to-cpu , okay, b4 his affirmation, the problem is probably top not sorting processes by cpu usage, so check out that url 4 that. And make sure you're catching the right perimeters.

[Jomik]

To sort by CPU, without forest view, you just pass -o "%CPU" as a flag.

[fadeouter]

@jomic thanks! Added this to the script. Would be glad if anyone tell how it works now.

[Jomik]

Tested it here

[VVhitehead]

@fadeouter cool, I manually configured my top 2 display the most cpu intensive processes first, and gotta go, so tomorrow I guess..

[fadeouter]

Probably I'm figured out. Tried to reproduce in Arch in termbox.io and found different output of a top.
I used grep -v "top \ | Tasks \ | Cpu \ | KiB" | head -n 5 | tail -n 3 to exctract first 3 lines with processes, but it's just bad code (shame on me!). Now I changed this to head -n 10 | tail -n 3
Hope this will work.
Could anyone try and check?
Also, modified to show all filesystem mounts started with /dev/sd*

[Jomik]

@fadeouter I still don't get the names on the top 3 processes. Also, showing all /dev/sd* shows the boot partition too, I'm not particularly interested in that.

[fadeouter]

@Jomik hey, could you check now, please? Looks like i'm solved this issues.
P.S. No. The position of CPU output in Arch is on 7 column, while in Ubuntu it's 9.

Arch:

 PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES %CPU %MEM     TIME+ S COMMAND
    1 root      20   0    4.3m   0.1m  0.0  0.0   0:00.00 S init
    6 root      20   0   14.4m   1.4m  0.0  0.6   0:00.02 S  `- abduco
    7 root      20   0   20.0m   3.4m  0.0  1.4   0:00.05 S      `- bash
   88 root      20   0   40.6m   3.1m  0.0  1.3   0:00.00 R          `- top

Ubuntu:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
18267 c         20   0    9628   3824   3260 R  17,6  0,2   0:00.03 top

I will find how to determine the number of column where CPU output. I'll do it later.

Currently you and any Arch user can manually change

top=$(top -o "%CPU" -bn 1 | tr -d '`[]|-' | head -n 10 | tail -n 3 |  awk '{ printf("%-4s %-s\n", $9 / 2, $NF); }' | awk 1 ORS="\\\n") 

to

top=$(top -o "%CPU" -bn 1 | tr -d '`[]|-' | head -n 10 | tail -n 3 |  awk '{ printf("%-4s %-s\n", $7 / 2, $NF); }' | awk 1 ORS="\\\n") 

PPS. And while I found how to determine the number of "CPU" column, but currently don't know how to implement this in current code

top -bn1 | head -n 7 | tail -n 1 | tr " " "\n" | grep -ve "^$" | awk '/CPU/{print NR}'

[Jomik]

@fadeouter this works for me. Changing
https://github.com/fadeouter/sysinfo/blob/master/sysinfo.1s.sh#L22
to

top=$(top -o "%CPU" -bn 1 | tr -d '`[]|-' | head -n 10 | tail -n 3 |  awk '{ printf("%-4s %-s\n", $7 / 2, $NF); }' | awk 1 ORS="\\\n")

Do note, that your master currently has $12 instead of $NF. I don't really know what this is/means, I'm not an awk user 😄

[fadeouter]

@Jomik thanks for your note, $NF means last column. While Arch has only 11 columns in the top output and Ubuntu has 12, this helps to show exactly what needed.
