Example

Running ntfy-resources-usage

Before running, ntfy-resources-usage needs to be configured.
To see how to configure ntfy-resources-usage, check the configuring wiki page.

Automatically

If set up correctly, ntfy-resources-usage starts everytime the OS boots because of init service starters like Systemd or OpenRC.

Manually

ntfy-resources-usage can also be run manually. Just execute ntfy-resources-usage. You can also add & at the end to still be able to run commands in the terminal, or append setsid to the begining of the program. Note that if you close the shell or terminal, ntfy-resources-usage will be killed when not using setsid.

# With child process ID
foo$ ntfy-resources-usage &

# With detached process ID
foo$ setsid ntfy-resources-usage

Note: v1.0.2 added auth files. If you use an auth file, it's recommended to set the auth file's read permissions to be available only for the root user and run ntfy-resources-usage as root. For that, you're better off using an init system

If you have a command-like menu like dmenu, you can use that as well so you wouldn't bother with running a terminal.
