Geektool Your Geektool scripts

[Vivid.Inferno]

So i played with geektool a couple months ago, but I got frusterated with not being able to make an iTunes script (I still can't, but I'm working on it lol).

Anyway here's what I managed to do this afternoon (using scrips posted on these thread)

Edit: Figured it'd be helpful to actually post the image.

It only displays the first word of the network. Any ideas on how to alter this?

this should work for you:

airport -I | grep -e '[^[:alnum:]_]SSID[^[:alnum:]_]' | sed 's/[ ]*SSID: //g'

Thank you!

 

[Skystar]

Just started using geektool but I love it! Used it to make the simple indicators on the bottom corners. Thanks for the scripts guys!

*EDIT* Does anyone know how I can add today's "High" temperature? For instance, on the bottom right, where I have "Fair, 93 F" I would like to to say "Fair, 93 F High 96 F" (I used curl BTW).

Would that be possible? Thanks!

Life Tracking

Does anyone know a command I could use to have Geektool display a .rtfd on my desktop? I'd like to keep a running log with pictures and have, thus far, only been able to find a way to display a plain .txt file using the shell option.

Thanks for your time!

Snow Leopard

My Free Cpu: Script stopped working after the upgrade to snow leopard, any help?

top -l 2 | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR > 5 {print"CPU: " $12, $13}'

calendar and wallpaper

Does anyone know the "code" for the horizontal calander displayed beneath, the music application and a link to the wallpaper showed?

Cheers,

Mine, Thanks for the thread guys, helped a lot. MacBook Air Display(laptop mode)

Mind sharing the itunes code? (A)

For the weather, is it possible to limit it to the first word in the forecast, for instance, right now it reads:

THUNDER IN THE VICINITY, 85 F

can I make it so it only shows as "THUNDER, 85 F"

 

[thom.mattson]

Has anybody figured out a fix for the analog clock in geektool 3? The image proportionality is all screwed up and one cannot enlarge the size of the clock.

Thanks.

Oh this is sooo freaking cool!!!!

Question: Do you put all of your code into one shell? Or do you have multiple shells on the desktop? If you put it into one shell how do you separate the code?

IE
Date
Time
Calendar etc

Thanks

Separate shells. That way you can design and display the pieces as you want.

Scotty..

Thank you very much. That is what I thought but I wanted to make sure!

this should work for you:

airport -I | grep -e '[^[:alnum:]_]SSID[^[:alnum:]_]' | sed 's/[ ]*SSID: //g'

Is there more to this than this? If I enter this string in a terminal window, I get "airport: command not found".

it's because you have to link the airport applicaion to the binary folder.

sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport /usr/sbin/airport

here's a script for a world clock which i got here. i couldn't get the script to work using the setup as depicted on the webpage link, but after switching to gmt format it seems to work just fine.

(i added in the "-" bit which you can remove or replace with another character.)

TZ=Alaska/GMT9 date +"Anchorage: %I:%M %p - %D"
TZ=NewYork/GMT5 date +"New York: %I:%M %p - %D"
TZ=England/GMT date +"London: %I:%M %p - %D"
TZ=Australia/GMT-10 date +"Sydney: %I:%M %p - %D"


(this is a VERY cool thread! )

Sorry to rez an old post, but does anyone know how to modify this to take into account daylight savings?

Does anyone know the "code" for the horizontal calander displayed beneath,

echo `cal` | 
sed "s/$(date +%e) / $(date +%e | sed 's/.*/@/g'!!delete!!) /" | 
sed s'/Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa//g' | 
sed s'/!!2space!!*/!!2space!!\|!!2space!!/g' |

does anyone have any codes for network activity, highest download speed, current speed and such?

Libwolf

while many countries observe daylight savings, there are quite a few rules and regulations governing when daylight savings begins and ends. have you tried DST or UTC? i tried them, but i couldn't get them to work properly, so i simply created a few different geektool shells to comply with time changes.

i haven't searched this thread in a while, but you might find something that does work, or maybe someone will step up and help out with providing this info.


i'm just happy i finally got some of the weather scripts to work!

Most of us are taught to read from upper left to lower right, left to right across a page. So I like to put my most important things I want to see in glance in the upper left-hand corner of my screen called the "Primary Optical Area."
