Burrow 1.0 Readme by Adam Jarret adam@adamjarret.com http://www.adamjarret.com ======================== Introduction ======================== Burrow is a simple Mac OS X Dashboard Widget that indicates whether or not a specified process is running and toggles the process when clicked. The widget gauge indicates green if the process is running, and red if it is not. Burrow Requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 Tiger (Universal). ======================== How It Works ======================== Once a command is entered into Burrow, the widget continually checks to see if that command is listed by the "px -ax" command. If the process is running, then clicking the green indicator will kill the process. If the process is not running, then clicking the red indicator will start the process. This is done using applescript to thread the new process so that the widget can continue to respond. See the source code for more details. ======================== Installation ======================== Simply double click the DMG file to mount it in the finder, and then double click the Burrow.wdgt file to install in the Dashboard. ======================== Uninstallation ======================== Remove Burrow.wdgt from the ~/Library/Widgets folder.
