# 🔋 Batmon
|
|
|
|
> **Batmon** is a dead-simple battery monitor for Linux written in Go. It
|
|
> provides real-time monitoring of battery status and adjusts the power profile
|
|
> accordingly to optimize battery life.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Real-time monitoring of battery status
|
|
- Adjustment of power profile based on battery status
|
|
- Support for custom commands and extra commands
|
|
- Configuration via a JSON file
|
|
- Not written in Rust (the codebase is _readable_)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Upower
|
|
- powerprofilesctl
|
|
- Nix or Go
|
|
|
|
### Nix
|
|
|
|
**Batmon** is primarily distributed through a Nix flake. You may install it
|
|
manually using `nix profile install github:NotAShelf/batmon`
|
|
|
|
### Manually
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
go install . # this will install Batmon in your $GOPATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To start using Batmon, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
batmon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, Gomon will load the configuration from config.json in the current
|
|
directory. You can specify a different configuration file using the `--config`
|
|
flag:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
gomon -c /path/to/config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The configuration file should contain a list of batteries to monitor, along
|
|
with any custom commands or extra commands to execute. Here's an example of
|
|
a configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"batPaths": [
|
|
{
|
|
"path": "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0",
|
|
"command": "powerprofilesctl set performance",
|
|
"extraCommand": "echo 'Battery is charging' | wall"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- You can leave `command` empty to use the default behaviour - which will
|
|
switch active powerprofile using `powerprofiles set performance | balanced`
|
|
|
|
- `extraCommand`, if provided, will be executed in addition to the `command`
|
|
value.
