A nice way to decorate an underpass.
The other day I mentioned that I starting using GeekTools. When I first got it thought “Looks pretty cool” followed by “How do I do that?”. So here are the four commands I use (one is a bit more involved):
System Uptime (Refresh 240):
uptime | awk ‘{print “UPTIME : ” $3 ” “$4″ ” $5 “”}’
System Processes (Refresh 5):
top -ocpu -FR -l2 -n20 | grep ‘^….[1234567890] ‘ | grep -v ‘ 0.0% ..:’ | cut -c 1-24,33-42,64-77
Calender (Refresh 3600):
cal | sed “s/^/ /;s/$/ /;s/ $(date +%e) / $(date +%e | sed ’s/./#/g’) /”
Current iTunes Song (Refresh 10):
osascript /Users/michaelhutchins/Music/iTunesInfo.scpt
This one just actively runs a scripts that I acquired (along with the originals) from this site of GeekTools programs and commands. The uptime I adjusted slightly while the others are pretty much the original.
I should mention that the refresh rates are in seconds even though it has no demarcation.
All of these are Shell scripts with everything at the default setting except font color, I chose white since it shows up better on my current background.
