lcdproc-0.5.9p0
interface to various LCD displays
Project homepage: http://www.lcdproc.org
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 lcdproc 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.
