Real-time updates for shared memory segment viewing
I'm diagnosing a problem in a telescope control system with several processes that communicate using several shared memory segments backed by mmap'd files. I can reload the file by restarting binocle. It would be really nice to have binocle refresh the view on command or at some update rate.
That sounds like a cool feature request - thank you!
Thanks. A workaround was to start two instances of binocle separated by a few seconds, position them on the same display coordinate, and alt tab between them rapidly with xdotool. I didn't feel more than two were a good idea, because each binocle takes about 48% CPU.
