zfs-assistant-tray(1)

NAME

zfs-assistant-tray - ZFS pool status and notifications in the system tray

SYNOPSIS

zfs-assistant-tray
zfs-assistant-tray -h|--help|-v|--version

DESCRIPTION

zfs-assistant-tray shows the state of the pools, snapshot jobs and backups as an icon in the system tray, and sends a desktop notification when something needs attention. A notification can open zfs-assistant(1) on the page concerned. Mark as seen acknowledges a failure in the tray; it doesn't repair a pool or retry a job.

The tray only reads. It asks zfs-assistant-helper(8) for the status with the view authorization, never asks for an administrator's password and never changes anything.

zfs-assistant(1) starts the tray, and the Settings page turns it on or off, sets how often it checks and whether it starts at login. Only one tray runs per session. Some desktops need tray support or an extension, and starting at login needs a desktop that runs XDG autostart entries.
