I'm looking for a plugin / applet that will run a persistent tiny terminal (even just one line) in the indicator panel (or below it, or at the bottom of my screen - somewhere out of the way) on Ubuntu 14+
I remember older versions of Ubuntu had these little applets, such as temperature, CPU usage etc. I have looked at this thread. I have also seen other distros of Linux where a persistent terminal (a few lines high) runs at the bottom of the screen.
