Shell Command Status README

Have a shell command that you'd like to see the output from all the time? This extension displays the output of any shell command in a tree view, refreshing continuously.

Features

Specify the shell, working directory, and shell command.

For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace:

find example

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • shell-command-status.shell: Defaults to "bash"
  • shell-command-status.cwd: The working directory where the command should be run.
  • shell-command-status.listCommand: The command to run. Each line of this command's output will be shown as an item in a tree view.

Known Issues

  • Specifying escape sequences in the command can only be done from the json settings view.
  • Only one command can be specified.
  • The frequency with which the command runs is not configurable. (The command is always started 0.5 seconds after the last run ends.)
