this is a dbus daemon (`pissd`) and client (`piss-level`) that monitor the international space station's urine tank level

i have it integrated into my status bar (X version):

![](./statusbar.png)

```bash
#...

function piss {
	PISS_LEVEL="$(piss-level)";
	if [ -n "$PISS_LEVEL" ]; then
		echo "  ${PISS_LEVEL}%";
	fi;
}

#...

while true; do
    xsetroot -name "$(piss)$(batt)$(datetime)";
	sleep 1;
done;
```

i made this pretty much entirely so that i could call a program "piss daemon"
