Tmux online status
Tmux plugin that enables displaying online status for your workstation.
Introduces a new #{online_status} format.
This plugin is useful if:
- you spend most of your time in Tmux and don't want to "switch" away from the terminal to check whether you're connected.
- you have a flaky internet connection and you don't want to be surprised
when a simple
curlorwgetfails because the connection just broke.
Tested and working on Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, and Cygwin.
Usage
Add #{online_status} format string to your existing status-right tmux
option.
Here's the example in .tmux.conf:
set -g status-right "Online: #{online_status} | %a %h-%d %H:%M "
OS X<br/>
On OS X the above will look like this when online<br/>
<br/>
or this when offline<br/>
<br/>
Linux<br/>
Online status on Linux<br/>

Configure icons
If the icons don't display well on your machine you can change them in
.tmux.conf:
set -g @online_icon "ok"
set -g @offline_icon "offline!"
Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-online-status'
Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.
#{online_status} interpolation should now work.
Manual Installation
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-online-status ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:
run-shell ~/clone/path/online_status.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
#{online_status} interpolation should now work.
Limitations
Online status icon most likely won't be instant. The duration depends on the
status-interval Tmux option. So, it might take anywhere between 5 and 60
seconds for online status icon to change.
Set status-interval to a low number to make this faster, example:
# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-interval 5
