Geektool Your Geektool scripts

[brenm666]

Hi All,

I just found this thread looking for a working stock ticker script. Well I came across post 751 and it worked great. But I did some tweaks to make it easy to reproduce and choose your stock symbol quickly with out editing the script. So I made two scripts one that is for when the stock is up.. and one for when it is down and you can overlay them. The way the script works if its for up it only shows if the stock is up... and vise verse. So you can set two different colors for up and down.

if you want more than one stock info to show, look at this post.
it's also only one script.

Yeah I saw that one too.. but I did not like the color's I just wanted the txt to change colors not the back ground.... and I am not that good at scripting to edit that one

Hi All,



If there is any questions about the script I posted or anything you see on my desktop don't hesitate to ask.

Could I get the code you are using for your uptime display? It looks like you've got the minute/hour/day vs. minutes/hours/days (singular vs. plural) figured out....mine doesn't. Thanks in advance.

UpTime

Could I get the code you are using for your uptime display? It looks like you've got the minute/hour/day vs. minutes/hours/days (singular vs. plural) figured out....mine doesn't. Thanks in advance.

Sure here it is:

#!/bin/bash
then=$(sysctl kern.boottime | awk '{print $5}' | sed "s/,//")
now=$(date +%s)
diff=$(($now-$then))

days=$(($diff/86400));
diff=$(($diff-($days*86400)))
hours=$(($diff/3600))
diff=$(($diff-($hours*3600)))
minutes=$(($diff/60))
seconds=$(($diff-($minutes*60)))

function format {
	if [ $1 == 1 ]; then
		echo $1 ' ' $2
	else
		echo $1 ' ' $2's'
	fi
}
echo 'Uptime: '`format $days "day"` `format $hours "hour"` `format $minutes "minute"` `format $seconds "second"`

change this section in the .py file (it's around the end)

        # COLORS
        elif OUTPTYPE == "-c":
            for i in xrange(len(symlist)):
                if   float(clist[i]) < 0.00:
                    print '\033[31m',symlist[i].ljust(6), plist[i].rjust(10), clist[i].rjust(9), cplist[i].rjust(9)
                elif float(clist[i]) > 0.00:
                    print '\033[32m',symlist[i].ljust(6), plist[i].rjust(10), clist[i].rjust(9), cplist[i].rjust(9)
                elif float(clist[i]) == 0.00:

kewl I see what needs to be changed... I might play with that tonight...

How can I change this to start the week on monday?

I worked out a calendar that uses the cal command, but also includes the last two weeks of the previous month, and the first two weeks of the next month and combines them together seamlessly under one month heading. This gives it a square layout. I also used some coloring to help tell the months apart and show the progress of the current month and highlight the current day. I haven't tested it with many other months, so may need some tweaking, but for now looks good.

Edit [20100905]: Fixed a few things in the code that miss-colored items this month.
Edit [20101201]: Improved code to fix issues losing January when it was the next month.

MONTH=$(date +'%B %Y')
OFFSET=$(((21-${#MONTH})/2))
WEEK="Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa"
PREV=$(cal -mj $(date -v -1m "+%m %Y") | grep .. | tail -n2)
CURR=$(cal | tail -n6)
NEXT=$(cal -mj $(date -v +1m "+%m %Y") | grep .. | tail -n6 | head -n2)
LINE=$((($(date +%e)/7)+2))

for ((i=0; i<$OFFSET; i++ ))
do
	echo " \c"
done
echo "[4m"$MONTH"[0m"
echo $WEEK $PREV$CURR$NEXT | sed -e s'/$/ /g' -e s'/ /  /g' -e s'/\([^0-9][0-9][^0-9]\)/ \1/g' -e s'/  / /g' -e s"/\(.\{21\}\)/\1#/g" | tr -s '#' '\n' | sed -e s'/^/ /g' -e s'/Sa/Sa[37m/' -e '3,5 s/ 1 /[32m 1 /' -e '7,9 s/ 1 / [37m1 /' -e "$LINE,$(($LINE+2)) s/ $(date +%e | sed s'/ //') /$(date +%e | sed -e s'/ //' -e s'/\(.*\)/[43;30m \1 [0m/')/"

For entering escaped characters before the [0m bits, you hit control+q [release] esc. It's invisible so you won't get any feedback.

Hi, as an european I would like this cool calendar to start the week with Monday, not Sunday. How must the code be changed?

Thanks,
newbie from Norway

What colors are you thinking? Adding that feature in to my Ticker script isn't too hard to do.

I am planning on updating the code here soon to remove the need to dump the stock webpage data to a temporary file. I can roll that feature in.

 

[SunDevil1981]

Hi all,

here in the office we connect to the internet through a proxy server, causing Geektool not being able to connect to the internet. Does anybody know how to get Geektool to connect to the internet through a proxy server?

Many thanks!!
Pete

Oh I just want it to change the txt colors not the background.... red/green is fine.... I just like the txt to change colors. But that's just me... If you put that in there that would be great... or if you can make it an option between the two....

 

[fhall1]

function format {

	else
		echo $1 ' ' $2's'
	fi
}
echo 'Uptime: '`format $days "day"` `format $hours "hour"` `format $minutes "minute"` `format $seconds "second"`

Thanks....seems to be working like a charm

That option will be added, and I think I'm going to add the capability to pick the colors you want.

Introducing the New and Improved 5 Day Yahoo Weather Forecast! - Now with Automatic Location Grabber!

Spurred on by dotcommer, I implemented location grabbing into the 5 Day Weather forecast Yahoo script I wrote for the thread. After some beta testing by dotcommer and brenm666, I think it's good enough to throw out here to the rest of the geektool users here. It may not be perfect and some issues may arise, but for the three of us, it works well.

Program options:

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --detailed        Displays the detailed forecast
  -l, --highlow         Displays the Highs and Lows only forecast
  -u, --underline       Underlines the day headers
  -w WEBADDRESS, --webaddress=WEBADDRESS
                        Used for pre-specifying the Yahoo Weather URL instead
                        of automatically grabbing based on external IP

If you don't want the code to automatically grab your location, you can specify a url for the script to use. This feature is handy if the location the IP service gives is completely wrong, the page I'm using for the this script says they are usually correct most of the time (in the upper 90th percentile).

Here are some sample commands:
This command uses the url provided to output the detailed forecast for Las Vegas, Nevada:

python fivedayforecastv3.py -d -w http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/nevada/las-vegas-2436704/

This command will print the detailed forecast for your location with the days underlined:

python fivedayforecastv3.py -d -u

This will print just the Highs/Lows for the week:

python fivedayforecastv3.py -l

The script can be found here: http://xtacocorex-geektool-scripts.googlecode.com/files/fivedayforecastv3.py

I've created a google code page to house my scripts in one central location, seemed easier than pasting code in here all the time.

I do have improvements for this planned, but I want to see what you all think about this before I move forward with the changes.

My desktop including AppleScript

Here's my desktop.
I used different scripts found in this thread and elsewhere on the net and compiled them into one AppleScript. In addition to the visual information, I get a spoken warning if my hard disk space falls below 10% on either disk.

Please if anyone can help me I'm in dire search of the code for this graph in the top left:

It was give by user lpobsession on page 95, but he never posted the code for the CPU graph usage.

Anyone know how I can do this with Geektool?! Thanks!

ALSO EDIT --

Does anyone have the code to display temperatures in geek tool WITHOUT a third party application?

I wish this forum had a search function for individual threads

I don't think Outlook supports Applescript, so therefore mail script won't work.

I don't have any wireless mice or keyboard, so I can't troubleshoot those scripts for you.

As for your original post about the RSS feed, the feed isn't XML, it's HTML so it needs to be parsed differently.

What, a new Stock Ticker!? - now in Technicolor!

I've been wanting to re-vamp my Stock Ticker script for a while, mainly to reduce the dependency on a temporary directory to store the web pages for the stock symbols. The old code was sorta fast and dumb, but the new code is slower and better. Yeah, that seems backwards, but for this, speed isn't key as the geeklet shouldn't be set to refresh faster than 30 minutes (but that is still up to you, I use an hour timer for mine).

Aside from the bulk re-write, I added more color changing options due to MoonDog ripping on my script (that was a joke). Just know that certain color combinations won't display properly. I have no idea why, but trying to get blue text with a green background just won't work.

Program Options:

Arguments:
    TICKER_FILE: the file that contains the stock symbols and markets to display

                        either color the text or the background depending on
                        the -f or -b option
  -n DOWNCOLOR, --downcolor=DOWNCOLOR
                        defines the color for negative changing stocks - will
                        either color the text or the background depending on
                        the -f or -b option

                        defines the color for positive changing stocks - will
                        either color the text or the background depending on

                        the -f or -b option
  -f, --foreground      colorize the text
