Description:

KHDAPSMonitor is a system tray monitor for laptops with the Hard Drive Active Proctection System.

This is my first KDE application, and also fills my need of a KDE HDAPS monitor. Written as the existing one here (khdapsmon) has several outstanding issues and is being re-written in python. I don't like python here is khdapsmonitor in C++, and it's here to stay.

Gentoo users simply need to emerge khdapsmonitor as I also maintain it in the Gentoo Portage tree.

Please send all comments to my homepage, http://bugs.gentoo.org or uberlord@gentoo.org as I don't check here much. Thanks!

The following patch allows me to run it on both versions of the kernel-interfaces:

Hi,
because of some changes in sysfs in Kernel 2.6.27 khdapsmonitor stopped working. So I patched it; just substitute every appearance of '/queue/protect' with '/device/unload_heads' in src/sysfs.cpp.

Hi,

first of all, I want to tell you how nice your app is. I really like it, works very well.

Since the default icons don't fit very well into the Nuvola icon set, I created a icon set based on it. You can find it here:

Have fun,
Lenz.
