Tmux Virtual Machines status

Tmux plugin that show the number of the started VMware Fusion / Workstation AND/OR VirtualBox virtual machines status.

Introduces a new #{vm_status} format.

This plugin is useful if:

  • run a lot virtual machines with Vagrant/Packer and forget about this.

Usage

Add #{vm_icon} and #{vm_status} format string to your existing status-right tmux option.

Here's the examples in .tmux.conf:

set -g status-right "#{vm_status} | %a %h-%d %H:%M "

Configure icons

If the icons don't display well on your machine you can change them in .tmux.conf:

set -g @vm_icon "Virtual Machines"

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @tpm_plugins "                 \
  tmux-plugins/tpm                    \
  stonevil/tmux-vm-status             \
"

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

#{vm_status} interpolation should now work.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/stonevil/tmux-vm-status ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/vm_status.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

#{vm_status} interpolation should now work.

Limitations

Virtual Machines status icon most likely won't be instant. The duration depends on the status-interval Tmux option. So, it might take anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds for vm status icon to change.

Set status-interval to a low number to make this faster, example:

# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-interval 5
