will have a look. need something to get the skype windows to stay on one desktop.
there's always a fullscreen (max CxR's) terminal window (or two) open - should be fbterm on tty3 really.

Let's start off Monday right!

Me trying to write my own bash script for info in killx. ;) {bash gurus, please just PM me with your script hate}

[GekkoP]

I need a script like that too. I'm bad at script writing, so far I just fixed screenfetch-dev to my own taste (basically removing ASCII logo and adding info about disk usage). But scripting is another thing I need to learn.

[machinebacon]

Joe,
instead of printf "killX Info" simply get the release name/version from /etc/os-release or /etc/lsb-release (because this makes your script work across distros), or even /etc/issue (though this is not always working fine)

[DebianJoe]

I was also reminded "don't grep the cat" from a Pidsley discussion on wasting processes with extra pipes.

Made my baby's first scripting a bit better. ;)

BBQ Elektra


Still working on it, but so far so good.

[machinebacon]

^ Absolutely.

[DebianJoe]

@Gekko, nice Elektra. Still one of my favorite spins.
@Bacon, BB...nice.

[ivanovnegro]

@GekkoP: Yep, nice.

[dkeg]

@GekkoP - nice. Like the wall.

try this in your .xinitrc for i3 to reduce memory consumption. Check the usage first to see the difference

replace

Code: Select all

exec i3

with

Code: Select all

exec i3 --shmlog-size 0

[GekkoP]

Edit: ok, thanks. RAM usage drops now.
The only thing left is make my network printer work and that's it: Elektra is awesome.

Beginning a very big project...

[GekkoP]

@DebianJoe hope you won't mind, I took the info script you posted before and added this:

Code: Select all

freedisk=$(df -H | grep /home | awk '{printf $4}')
totaldisk=$(df -H | grep /home | awk '{printf $2}')
disk="${freedisk}B / ${totaldisk}B"

I deleted my screenfetch-fix, cause yours is lighter and I like it. I'm no bash script expert, so there may be a better way to do what I did with df above.

Not really a system screenie, but always good news when this one pops up over at peniswatch:

I'm not much of a coder, but;
you could lose the grep df lets you specify the FS required.

Code: Select all

freedisk=$(df /home -H  | awk '{if ($1 != "Filesystem") print $4;}')

OR
if you put the df output into a variable

Code: Select all

disk=`df /home -h`

then you could df once and awk the same variable twice.

Code: Select all

free=`echo $disk` | awk '{print $11}'
total=`echo $disk` | awk '{print $9}'

but really, nit-picking this doubles the calls to echo... and fills a bunch of variables...
wow i'm getting into this.

[GekkoP]

Yes, I was just going through df man page and I noticed that. Schoolboy error, I know :)

Thanks for the advice, I'll fix the script.
