Nathan Daly 5c37494d11 Added error message printing to the tmux plugin:
Added output error messsages to the tmux plugin file so that if either
cmake or make fail, you can find out why.

For example, if cmake is missing, the output looks like this:

```
'cmake /usr/local/google/home/nhdaly/.tmux/plugins/tmux-mem-cpu-load' failed.
/usr/local/google/home/nhdaly/.tmux/plugins//tmux-mem-cpu-load/tmux-mem-cpu-load.plugin.tmux: line 23: cmake: command not found
```

If there is some error during make, the output looks like this:

```
tmux-mem-cpu-load failed to build.
make: <make output error message>
```

Description
===========

A simple, lightweight program provided for system monitoring in the *status*
line of **tmux**.

The memory monitor displays the used and available memory.

The CPU usage monitor outputs a percent CPU usage over all processors. It also
displays a textual bar graph of the current percent usage.

The system load average is also displayed.

Example output::

  2885/7987MB [|||||     ]  51.2% 2.11 2.35 2.44

   ^    ^          ^         ^     ^    ^    ^
   |    |          |         |     |    |    |
   1    2          3         4     5    6    7

1. Currently used memory.
2. Available memory.
3. CPU usage bar graph.
4. CPU usage percentage.
5. Load average for the past minute.
6. Load average for the past 5 minutes.
7. Load average for the past 15 minutes.

For `terminals with 256 color support`_, graded colors can be displayed by
passing the **--colors** flag.


Installation
============

Dependencies
------------

Currently, Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD are supported.

Building
~~~~~~~~

* >= CMake_ -2.6
* C++ compiler with C++11 support (e.g. gcc/g++ >= 4.6)

Download
--------

There are links to the source code at the `project homepage`_.

Build
-----

::

  cd <source dir>
  cmake .
  make

Install
-------

::

  su -
  make install
  logout

Build and Install Using tpm_
-----------------------------

Include the plugin in your ``.tmux.conf``, the same file you'll set the
configuration in, below.

::

  set -g @plugin 'thewtex/tmux-mem-cpu-load'

Install with Package Managers
-----------------------------

* Gentoo: ``emerge tmux-mem-cpu-load``
* Homebrew: ``brew install tmux-mem-cpu-load``

Build and Install Using Antigen_
--------------------------------

Include the bundle in your ``.zshrc``

::

  antigen bundle thewtex/tmux-mem-cpu-load

Configuring tmux_
=================

Edit ``$HOME/.tmux.conf`` to display the program's output in *status-left* or
*status-right*.  For example::

  set -g status-interval 2
  set -g status-left "#S #[fg=green,bg=black]#(tmux-mem-cpu-load --colors --interval 2)#[default]"
  set -g status-left-length 60

If you installed using tpm, you must specify the full path to the
``tmux-mem-cpu-load`` script, like below::

  set -g status-right "#[fg=green]#($TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH/tmux-mem-cpu-load/tmux-mem-cpu-load --colors --powerline-right --interval 2)#[default]"

Note that the *interval* argument to `tmux-mem-cpu-load` should be the same number
of seconds that *status-interval* is set at.

Another optional argument is the number of bars in the bar graph, which
defaults to 10.  This can, for instance, be set to the number of cores in a
multi-core system.

The *colors* option will add graded colors for each of the measures.

The full usage::

  Usage: tmux-mem-cpu-load [OPTIONS]

  Available options:
  -h, --help
           Prints this help message
  -c, --colors
          Use tmux colors in output
  -p, --powerline-left
	  Use powerline left symbols throughout the output, enables --colors
  -q, --powerline-right
	  Use powerline right symbols throughout the output, enables --colors
  -i <value>, --interval <value>
          Set tmux status refresh interval in seconds. Default: 1 second
  -g <value>, --graph-lines <value>
          Set how many lines should be drawn in a graph. Default: 10
  -m <value>, --mem-mode <value>
        Set memory display mode. 0: Default, 1: Free memory, 2: Usage percent.
  -t <value>, --cpu-mode <value>
        Set cpu % display mode. 0: Default max 100%, 1: Max 100% * number of threads.
