Status Plugin

The status plugin displays status information about the connection. It tells the user whether the program is online or offline and the name of the host it is connected to. It uses symbolic names instead of port numbers to inform the user which port it uses.

Additionally it can display info text in the status line that is read from a URL.

This plugin must be put before the lowest level Socket plugin!

You can configure the plugin using the following properties:
 

Property Documentation
Status.info A URL pointing to a text file that is used to display additional information in the status line. If the text file contains more than one line each line is displayed 1/10 of the re-read interval. Additionally, if a line starts with "#XXXXXX" where "XXXXXX" is a hexadecimal color code. The line is displayed with that foreground color, overriding the default.
