What is GeekTool?
Customize your desktop with GeekTool, a versatile MacOS application that enables displaying diverse information on your screen. This tool offers three core plug-ins: the File plugin to monitor system activity by tracking log files, the Shell plugin to execute custom scripts and commands, and the Image plugin to visualize metrics from tools like MRTG or RRD. Leverage the File plugin to follow /var/log/system.log or any other file of your choice, the Shell plugin to run commands such as "df" for file system space or "uptime" for system load monitoring, and the Image plugin to track bandwidth, CPU utilization, and memory availability on your server. Extend the functionality of your desktop with GeekTool's flexible configuration options
