Continuously Updated Minimized Display

[d-shehu]

I did a quick Google search and skimmed over the CLI args but didn't see an option.

Is it possible to have a minimized view, like the one provided by the --fetch argument but that updates itself? I'd like to have a multi machine view that can fits one of my monitors. I realize I could do this with API server but I'd like something simpler. Thanks.

Hi @d-shehu

for the moment you can:

1. use the light option from the command line to only display top menu:

   glances --light

or

2. use a dirty hack to run fetch every 5 seconds:

   watch -n 5 glances --fetch

Thanks, your 2nd option works better than my script which periodically calls the glances --fetch.

Thank you also for the great utility and the quick follow up!
