Sure it would be possible to integrate such a monitor into the
slit. I just don't like the idea of cluttering my desktop just for 
some characters of output.

By "hacking in" I mean patching fluxbox with an additional tool 
I wrote (like ClockTool) for my battery, such that its status 
is displayed left of the clock.

To overcome that tedious patching, I thought about a generic tool for 
displaying a tools which displays arbitrary command output in the  toolbar.
For input, I've a dialog box in mind, which takes a
time-interval and the actual command.

I suspected that this could be of interest for some more people than just
me.

All the best,
