      4 Any panel offers the possibility to include generic scripts output.
      5 In `xfce4-panel` this is done by the panel item: "Generic Monitor" (genmon). It features output styled with pango markup and mouseover/onclick hooks.

      7 Here are some `genmon` script collections:

      9 - [xfce4-genmon-scripts-2](https://github.com/almaceleste/xfce4-genmon-scripts)
     10 - [xfce4-genmon-scripts-3](https://github.com/levimake/xfce4-genmon-panel-scripts)

     18 To get that, I cat the content of a file generated by this script, started in `autostart.sh` in the background:
     19 [cpu_mon.py](cpu_mon.py).
