About

A small Python script to watch the pool of available entropy.

Written to avoid using watch cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail as entropy is consumed with each invocation of cat. Wasteful!

Specify the delay in seconds, e.g. python entropy.py 5 or python entropy.py 0.5; otherwise the default is 1 second.
