The comms/lcdproc port

lcdproc-0.5.9p0 – interface to various LCD displays (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

LCDproc is a piece of open source software that displays real-time
system information from your Linux/*BSD box on a LCD. The server
supports several serial (and USB) devices: Matrix Orbital, CrystalFontz,
Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001 (kernelconcepts.de), Wirz-SLI, Cwlinux(.com) and
PIC-an-LCD; and some devices connected to the LPT port: HD44780, T6963,
SED1520 and SED1330. Various clients are available that display things
like CPU load, system load, memory usage, uptime, and a lot more.

| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical Usage
=============

 * Edit ${SYSCONFDIR}/LCDd.conf:
   You will need to choose a driver and review your driver options.

 * Start LCDd:
   # ${RCDIR}/lcdd start

 * Review ${SYSCONFDIR}/lcdproc.conf

 * Start the lcdproc client:
   # ${RCDIR}/lcdproc start

Your LCD display should now be displaying system statistics.

The default config file shipped with the OpenBSD package will log any
errors to syslog.

Using the Curses Output
=======================

LCDproc provides a curses output driver which is useful for testing.
When using this driver, you should *not* run LCDd using the bundled rc
script.

Instead, choose the "curses" driver in ${SYSCONFDIR}/LCDd.conf and run:
   LCDd -f

Miscellaneous Notes
===================

 * Network statistics are not yet supported on OpenBSD.
