Debian Multimedia :: Conky Execp / Execpi To Parse Output Of Scroll Variable Generated From Shell Or PHP Scripts

Sep 11, 2015

I am having a hard time getting conky execp/execpi to correctly parse output of the scroll variable generated from shell or PHP scripts.

Code: Select allDebian 8.0
Xfce 4.10
Conky 1.9.0-6

This is a simplified minimal conky configuration file used to show the same problem:

Code: Select allalignment bottom_middle
background no
border_width 1
default_color white
default_outline_color white
default_shade_color white
double_buffer yes

[Code] ....

Here is the output I'm getting:

Code: Select all          ABC       /*doesn't scroll, UNEXPECTED, shows 10 spaces before ABC*/
          ABC       --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*doesn't scroll, WORKS AS EXPECTED as scroll length is 25 which is longer than text "abcdefghijklmnop" */
abcdefghijklmnopABC --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*WORKS, everything before ABC scrolls 5 characters at a time*/

General :: Storing A Variable In A Shell Script After Awk Output?

Feb 8, 2010

On command line I have no problem storing a variable e.g

Code:

:~/bin$ process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`
:~/bin$ echo $process
26736
:~/bin$

When I try to incorporate this into a shell script I get a blank.

Code:

:~/bin$ cat process_idesk
#!/bin/bash
process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`

[code]....

The process_idesk script has been chmoded to be executable by the user. I'm sure there must be a silly omission on my behalf.

General :: (standard_in) 1: Parse Error Setting Variable With Bc?

Jul 19, 2011

I'm trying to define a variable, CHAN, by dividing another variable, FREQ, by a number. FREQ is a value from a file (called header.txt). What I think I'm doing with this bit of code is reading a number from header.txt whose location is specified by the head and tails, assigning it to FREQ and then defining CHAN with bc.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read FREQ

Programming :: Parse Multiple Variable From Text File With Bash?

Jul 13, 2010

I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:

:::::::::::
var1=value1
var2=value2

[code].....

I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.

Programming :: How To Parse And Modify Keywords Using Shell Script?

Apr 14, 2011

There is a file with that format of each models' information.I don't think that's good format, but I cannot change that format. I needed to modify the model name, 'model = xxx' as 'model = abc'.And I don't know how to parse and modify 'model = iii' and 'model = ddd'.The only clue to parse 'model = ddd' is the second 'model = ' after the second 'system information'. But how to parse the second keyword?Is it possible with 'sed'?I sometimes have to modify the information of the file.using shell script if possible.Python is ok. (Shell script is better for me.)

Debian :: Conky - Full Screen Config / 2 Conky Configs?

Jun 13, 2011

Said that all the config i find put all the info in one place of the screen, in this example on the right side:

url

or like conky colors where you can put in either side, or other complex examples that use folders with images..that at least i need one day to study all the variables it has...

What i want is something simple, in my black background i dont want images and effects, only white simple text.

My problem is: i want for instance my specs above, my log info in the middle, my music info bellow (above my clock) and in conky config i'm hitting my head in the wall....

For instance if i use my facebook script to appear in the midle how the hell can i put my music info bellow without ruined the facebook in the midle...do i need 2 conky configs?

Programming :: Working With System Call - Read Output And Parse Values

Dec 10, 2010

I have the following code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
system("ps -ef | grep myprocessname");
return 0; }

When I run this program it outputs the following list of running processes:
Code:
root 10279 10275 0 13:02 ? 00:00:00 myprocessname myvar1=value1 myvar2=value2
root 10341 10337 1 13:02 ? 00:00:00 myprocessname myvar1=value1 myvar2=value2

What I want to really do is instead of writing the output to screen I want to read the output and parse the various values value1, value2 etc. What is the best way to do this?

Debian Multimedia :: Scroll Through The Menus The Highlighter Is Grey And It Makes Things Awfully Hard To Read?

Jul 1, 2010

I recently installed Firefox 3.6 on Debian Squeeze. Everything went smoothly, but Firefox looks weird. The interface reminds me of Windows 98 and anytime I scroll through the menus the highlighter is grey and it makes things awfully hard to read. I'm not sure what could be wrong but I'm hoping someone here I'm not sure how to insert small images as url links so I'll just post links to screenshots I took for reference.[URL]Oh, and one other problem I recently discovered, flash doesn't seem to work. It works just fine in Iceweasel but I am told I have to install it in Firefox. I installed libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins but that doesn't seem to have helped. Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't since it's probably the 32-bit version I got from their site, I run on 64 bit.

Ubuntu :: Odd Output From Conky 'mixer' Variables

Mar 29, 2010

With my .conkyrc. Whenever I output the values of any of the mixer variables, eg. mixer, mixerbar, mixerl, mixerlbar, mixerr, mixerrbar - the correct value is initially displayed but it only persists for one iteration of conky. As soon as conky refreshes (2 secs. in my case), the value goes to zero (0). I'd have to restart conky in order to get another reading until conky loops/refreshes again.

I'm sure that it's not normal behavior because nothing else in conky seems to work this way. Has anyone come across this? I couldn't find a mention of it anywhere.

Programming :: Piping Cat Output To Variable?

Jan 10, 2010

New to ubuntu and shell scripting in general... currently I stored some data into a text file. Right now, I would like to output the data from the text file and store it into a variable. Here's what I have so far:

READ_FILE=$(cat $FILE_NAME)

This definitely works and READ_FILE has the necessary data. However, this command will trigger an output to std output and I will see data on the screen, which is not what I want. I tried:

cat $FILE_NAME | $READ_FILE

and various other variants of this. It does not output to std output but neither does anything gets stored into $READ_FILE. I tried:

cat $FILE_NAME >> $READ_FILE

and it arrived at an error of "ambiguous redirect".

Programming :: Retain The Eol In Bash Variable Or Ssh Output?

Jan 17, 2011

I have to save the result of ssh/grep into a file to keep the eol ("/n"):

ssh $SSH_OPTIONS $USER@$NODE "cd $LOG_DIR; grep -h '$pattern' log.*" > $file

So that when I grep on the local file again later, it can be printed out with original log lines. Otherwise, the log lines will be dropped and lines becomes concatenated into a single line, e.g., if I rewrite the script in this way, echoing the $result is not a good idea..

result=`ssh $SSH_OPTIONS $USER@$NODES "cd $LOG_DIR; grep -h '$pattern' log.*"`

is there some workaround that I can save it to a variable rather than file but still keep the eol? That will simplify my script and don't need to do all those I/Os!

General :: Does The Output Of The Previous Command Get Stored In Any Variable

Mar 26, 2011

For example, when using bash you can use

Code:

to execute the previous command or

Code:

!<number> to execute the Nth command(use history to see the list). Or you can use

Code:

cd !-2:1

to cd into the value in the first field that was executed 2 commands ago Anyhow, say I run a command and the output is a path. Any way to cd and then some variable where OUTPUT of the previous command was stored? A variable that always stores the OUTPUT of the last command.

Programming :: Receive Command Output And Store It To A Variable?

Apr 3, 2010

Suppose I want to account number of files beginning with abc , I can use "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l", this will return me a number.
I want to store this number in a variable, say var1, so I tried
1. "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l |read var1", but this didn't work as var1 has no value somehow.
2. var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', this just assign the entire string "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l" to var1, which is not I wanted.

I don't want to store the value to a temporary file and then read the value from that file. I think there should be a direct way to get the value, but don't know how. I know in tcsh, one can just use set var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', but it also doesn't work in bash. Can anyone give any clue about this?
