Free light monitor software for linux

light-monitor is a transparent panel that depends only on X and Xft. The project comes with light-calendar, a simple, transparent, and lightweight calendar.
These two programs are written to consume the lowest possible amount of resources.
Main features:
- vol Manages the volume (pcm and vol). To change the current volume just clic on it or use the mouse-wheel.
- cpufreq Manages the scaling_governor : blue means powersave, blue and green means ondemand, and blue green and red stands for performance. To change to the next one, just clic on the processor
- load Shows the current load on the system and the processor temperature
- time Shows the time
- date Shows the date
- network Shows the cumulative bandwidth over all network interfaces except lo. It is hidden if current upload and download are null
- ac Shows if the power supply is plugged for laptop
- battery Shows the current percentage of remaining charge in the battery if it is not full. IF ac is unplugged, it shows an estimation of the remaining time too.

Linux Bandwidth Monitor (bwmon) is yet another utility that measures bandwidth utiliazation per interface basis. It is coded in C and takes advantage of POSIX thread and curses library. It runs only on Linux systems since the utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime.

The utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime files in order to print out bandwidth usage at user selected intervals, maximum bandwidth usage since initialization of the utility and average bandwidth usage since the last reboot. This is done based on network interface.

Tested on Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.5.x, SuSE and RedHat distributions.
To compile, simply say
$ make
To install, say (optional)
# make install
Or copy bwmon binary where ever you want.

Q Light Controller 2 (QLC) aims to be a free alternative to commercial lighting software and hardware. The main emphasis is to build a software that can be used to control any kinds of lighting equipment.
QLC uses the dmx4linux driver suite to access various hardware interfaces. Currently DMX512, Analog 0-10V and MIDI control systems are being supported by dmx4linux. Refer to dmx4linux interfaces for more information on supported interfaces.
Q Light Controller is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
- Easy to use device-oriented interface
- Control up to 512 DMX/Analog channels thru DMX4Linux
- Use one of the ready-made fixture definitions, or
- Define your own fixtures with the device class editor
- Create fast changing or smoothly fading scenes, chasers and sequences
- Easy programming of moving lights thru a pattern generator
- Conjure your favourite lighting desk layout with the virtual console
