Anyone have a proper way to display CPU usage?
I tried:
Code:top -l2 | grep "CPU usage" | cut -c 1-11,25-26
with 'cut' to remove what I don't want displayed but seeing as the number fluctuates, the overall percentage sometimes gets cut off.
Anyone have a solution?
--This script borrows heavily in concept and form from the original "iTunesInfo.scpt for geektool"

-- Set to "enhanced" for track rating, album, and run times in addition to title/artist
-- Set to "enhanced SL" for enhanced in a single line
-- Set to "enhancedalt1" for enahnced with static time of track

And i totally agree with you. Bowtie is nice, but its another program running... Plus, we can do much more with Applescript!
Heres my version! (the only thing Ive changed was the message when iTunes is paused) Just put it right after enhancedalt1!
But just a question : where did you get the pause/play characters?Code:else if displayLogic = "enhancedalt2" then if playerstate = paused then set displaymain to "❚❚ " else set displaymain to trackStatus & " " & trackName & " | " & artistName & " | " & albumName & " " & " (" & tracktime & ") " & "- " & trackrating & " - " & trackplaycount & " plays" end if
and for the weather alerts, well i live in canada so yeah... its useless for me
and thanks for the code!
well thats good to know (both the dictionary and the Character Viewer)! thanks! a little technical question for my personal understanding: why did you put a "try"?
and for the weather, its ok. the script i use for it only uses two languages! go back one or two pages and you'll find a link i posted of a youtube video. it's all there!
also, anyone knows if its possible to create a "hyperlink" with Applescript and Geektool? (you click on a word and it does something: pausing iTunes for example)
. That's the next thing I am playing with.a little technical question for my personal understanding: why did you put a "try"?
set trackplaylist to the playlist of trackID
set trackplay to the name of trackplaylistset trackplaylist to the playlist name of trackIDset trackplaylist to the name of the playlist of trackIDIm having a bit of trouble with applescript. When I want to display the name of a playlist, whats my code? Knowing that "playlist" is a class and that "name" is the property. This is what ive tried :
Code:set trackplaylist to the playlist of trackID set trackplay to the name of trackplaylistCode:set trackplaylist to the playlist name of trackIDand nothing worked...Code:set trackplaylist to the name of the playlist of trackID
thanks!

By the way, thanks a lot for the answers shomann... trust me you help me a lot! Like for the playlist: it worked perfectly!!! Do you know a website that explains Applescript? Id like to learn on my own without asking questions every 2 seconds!
