🌸 NAME 🌸

bestie, meet sigmon — it's literally a Vodafone 3G/GPRS datacard signal strength monitor</p> ✨ that's the whole job and she does it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sigmon -?

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -? — she spills a lil brief usage rundown, like a quick vibe check on how to use her 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so sigmon is a command line tool whose entire main character energy is watching the signal strength that your Vodafone 3G/GPRS datacard is seeing 👑 like, is the vibe strong or is it giving nothing?

the way that it works: once you start her up, she goes and queries the datacard for the signal strength, then she displays it every 5 seconds — nonstop, on loop, your lil signal bestie reporting in 🌈

when you're done and you wanna dip? hit Ctrl/C and that stops the signal strength display AND exits from sigmon 💀 periodt, she's gone, no drama 💜

😭 BUGS 😭

ngl, sigmon is a simple script, and she makes one big assumption: that the third port of the datacard is /dev/ttyUSB2 🙈

so if your datacard is not the first USB device registered, bestie... the script has to be modified to correct the port name. no cap, you gotta go in and fix it yourself 🧚

where do you find the right port name tho? go read /var/log/messages — the answer is in there, iykyk ⭐

🦋 DEPENDENCIES 🦋

sigmon needs comgt to be installed so that it shows up in the current search path when sigmon is run 🔥 like, no comgt, no vibe check. that's the deal 🍓

and that's the whole page, babe 💅 this lil icon was written by the General Commands Manual crew and dated 22 January, 2005 — yes she's an elder, she's been serving signal strength since 2005 and she ate ✨ mwah, go check your bars 💖
