Searching and reading prior posts it appears that osso status bar is the app I amd looking for (ability o kill processes, screen capture) but I have been unable to locate it at maemo or in the "available apps" on my N800. Anyone know where I can get it and do I need other files for it to work. Thanks from a noobee trying to find his way around.

some guys have done this wonderful job..

for the screenshot part, you will need to install also the 'osso-screenshot-tool' ..

From your description [cpu - ram - commands - screenshot/delayed screenshot] you need load-applet-run [deb]

Apart from the above I also have osso-statusbar-cpu [old screenshots]
[no screenshot ability]
EDIT: can be added; scroll down to my post below or click here


As a back-up for screenshots I also have Maemo screengrabber.

[PS: I hope load-applet-run gets updated to os2008 as I especially like its user definable 'delayed' screenshot feature.]

As I understood it; The official version in maemo-hackers is not yet available. Though there is a version for 2008 at:
http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/m...statusbar-cpu/

The 'osso-statusbar-cpu' can take screenshots (at least mine can!) but it uses the 'osso-screenshot-tool' so this needs to be installed too. The command is already there for you, but you need to tweak it to save the picture in your preferred place.

Thanks, Saturn; will try this when I migrate to 'chinook/os2008'.

Yep.. Thank you for being so polite while reminding me that the world doesn't turn around chinook!

UPDATE: screenshot ability can be added as follows

1) download & run this script in Xterm
http://maemo-hackers.org/attachment/....sh?format=raw

OR

2) add a new command yourself
[Settings - Commands - New]
Description:
Take screenshot
Command:
/bin/sh -c 'stamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M`; i=1; while [ -f /media/mmc1/shot-$stamp-`printf %02d $i`.png ]; do i=$((i+1)); done; osso-screenshot-tool /media/mmc1/shot-$stamp-`printf %02d $i`.png'

[PS: Now I need to figure out how to alter the command so as to build in a 5 second delay before taking screenshot]

Adding sleep 5; somewhere before the screenshot command should do the trick.
