LedBorg CPU Monitor on RaspberryPi

Simple script written in Python for free use on your RaspberryPi with LedBorg, handy tool for monitoring your CPU usage in a simple way. I have implemented gradient of 10 colors, from blue(<10%)-green(<50%)-red(<90%) CPU usage.

Requirements

Raspberry Pi

Some linux knowledge

Test

sudo python ledborg-cpu-monitor.py

Installation

1. Copy ledborg-cpu-monitor.py in /usr/local/bin/ledborg #You can change the path
   

   sudo cp ledborg-cpu-monitor.py /usr/local/bin/ledborg/
   

2. Make sure the script is executable
   

   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ledborg/ledborg-cpu-monitor.py
   

3. Copy ledborg-cpu-monitor.sh in /etc/init.d #If you have changed default path of py script, you need to this file adding the correct path

   sudo cp ledborg-cpu-monitor.sh /etc/init.d
   

4. Make sure the script is executable
   

   sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/ledborg-cpu-monitor.sh
   

5. Auto start at boot
   

   sudo update-rc.d ledborg-cpu-monitor.sh defaults
