Set up OpenStack gate graph on your desktop with GeekTool.

gistfile1.txt

One time only (or whenever you change the graph definition), run build_page.py from
<https://github.com/notmyname/gate_status>. This creates simple_graph_url, a graphite URL to
generate the gate status graph. Then create grab_gate_image.sh somewhere in your $PATH and add
the cronjob. Finally add an image to GeekTool to load /tmp/gate_graph.png and set it to
refresh as often as you run the cronjob. I added the image at 80% opacity.

grab_gate_image.sh

#!/bin/sh

URL=`cat /Users/john/Documents/gate_status/simple_graph_url`

/usr/local/bin/wget "$URL" -O /tmp/gate_graph.png 2>/dev/null
