rout is out

I’ve just released the rout tool I mentioned in my last blog post about command-line parsing semantics.

rout is a simple tool, written in rust, that produces unicode utf-8 output in interesting ways. It uses the minimal command-line parsing crate ap. It also uses a fancy pest parser for interpreting escape sequences and range syntax.

Either grab the source, or install the crate:

$ cargo install rout

Full details (with lots of examples! ;) are on both sites:

Byobu Bling with Unicode Custom Indicators

Image
Introduction In these heady times of almost daily advances in UI pizzazz, you could be forgiven for thinking the terminal is somewhat of a dead-zone when it comes to excitement. Oh how wrong you would be though...! If you've never used  Byobu ,  Dustin's  awesome text-based window manage, sudo apt-get install it without delay to be bathed in pure terminal goodness. As shown below, byobu comes with a whole host of standard indicators, allowing the display of useful snippets of information. The indicators are minimal out of terminal-width real estate necessity, but that's also their strength - they provide just the details you really care about in a tight ASCII format. And they're cute of course :-) However, byobu has a well-kept secret: when running with the tmux backend, it supports Unicode indicators. So with the proviso that you are running " byobu-tmux " rather than " byobu-screen ", you can squeeze down those indicators even further...

Procenv 0.46 - now with more platform goodness

I have just released procenv version 0.46 . Although this is a very minor release for the existing platforms (essentially 1 bug fix), this release now introduces support for a new platform... Darwin Yup - OS X now joins the ranks of supported platforms. Although adding support for Darwin was made significantly easier as a result of the recent internal restructure of the procenv code, it did present a challenge: I don't own any Apple hardware. I could have borrowed a Macbook, but instead I decided to see this as a challenge: Could I port procenv to Darwin without actually having a local Apple system?  Well, you've just read the answer, but how did I do this? Stage 1: Docker Whilst surfing around I came across this interesting docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/andrewd/osxcross/ It provides a Darwin toolchain that I could run under Linux. It didn't take very long to follow my own instructions on porting procenv to a new platform . But although I...

Upstart User Sessions in Ubuntu Raring

Image
Overview Ubuntu Raring now includes Upstart 1.8 . Upstart 1.7 and 1.8 combined mark a major milestone since they bring the proven power of Upstart to the user as never before: not only is Upstart now managing the system, but it is also capable of managing the default Ubuntu user's desktop sessions too. Why? Question:  Why reuse a system facility at the user level in this way? The modern Linux desktop environment is a very dynamic one: users start and stop applications, switch workspaces, search the dash, adjust personal settings in the panel, connect to different networks, hot-plug USB devices and so on. All of these activities can be represented by "events". Stepping back a second, recall that Upstart was written  from the outset  to take advantage of  the dynamic nature of a modern Linux system . Long gone are the days when a system booted serially. A modern Linux system abounds with "events" from all sorts of different sources: The user plugs or ...
