Geektool: Your Geektool scripts (II)

[brenm666]

Here's the continuation of the first Geektool thread.

[maflynn]

I would like to point out unlike the prior thread, there is no longer a need to put all your geektool questions, issues, and scripts in a single thread. Now with the UI Customization forum, members are free to create new geektool threads as they deem necessary

[willfurnell]

Well, I'll start the thread off with a couple of useful scripts I have found, I think they may have originally come from here.

The first is to check if a service is online:

#######Server Checker#########
HOST=DNS.NAME.GOES.HERE
PING=`ping -q -c 1 $HOST`
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ; then
    TIME=`echo $PING |tail -1 | cut -d/ -f 5`
    echo $HOST is Online
else
    echo $HOST is Offline
fi

And the second is for External/Internal IP addresses. I'm not sure whether Lynx is installed by default (probably not) - so you will need it if you wish to use the External IP code. The Internal IP code omits IPv6 Addresses and a couple of VMware interfaces. This can easily be removed by removing the -v from grep.

########EXTERNAL IP###########
echo ""
NET1=`lynx -dump http://checkip.dyndns.org | cut -d : -f 2`
echo External: $NET1 
########INTERNAL IP###########
echo ""
NET2=`ifconfig | grep "inet" | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | grep -v inet6 |grep -v 192.168.48.1 | grep -v 192.168.183.1 | awk '{print $2}'`
echo Internal: $NET2

I would appreciate some help here. I've been using this horizontal calendar script, which I love, but it somehow is automatically coloring the current date in red, but I'd like to change that to a different color. Any help?

echo `cal`" " |
sed "s/[^0-9]$(date +%e | sed s'/ //')\([^0-9]\)/ $(date +%e | sed 's/ *\([0-9]*\)/\1/')\1/" |
sed s'/ $//' |
sed s'/Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa//g' |
sed s'/ / \ •  /g' |
sed s'/\([a-z]\)[ ]\ ./\1/g' |
sed s'/\•[ ]*\•/ /'|
sed s"/$/     $(date +%A)/"

there is nothing else this is using to color the date?

Nothing that I can see. The Font color in GeekTool affects only the rest of the days, but there's not a separate script for the colored day and nothing I can identify that would change that color.

This is what the window looks like (with the entire script being what I copy/pasted before):

Hmmm.. Granted I am pretty new at this, so I am going to have to defer this one. Sorry I couldn't help. For some reason I thought there was another reference that was color coding items. Let me look around a little more. I know I have mine setup to only bold the number no color. So let me take another look.

You likely have another Geeklet which is almost identical to this one, and even starts out with echo `cal`" " except that this other geeklet is changed to ONLY show today's date in it, and that one is colored red.

You can check by first giving the Geeklet you can see a name (besides the random string) and then moving it up or down by 100. Then you'll see the other Geeklet left behind. You can then rename that one, change its color, and move the other one back into place.

It's the "date +%e" inside one of the sed statements that shows today's date is being replaced with a space.

The color is defined in the second line of your script

sed "s/[^0-9]$(date +%e | sed s'/ //')\([^0-9]\)/ $(date +%e | sed 's/ *\([0-9]*\)/\1/')\1/" |


Just change the number 31 to change the color as follows:

30 - black
31 - red
32 - green
33 - yellow
34 - blue
35 - magenta
36 - cyan
37 - white

Perfect! Thanks, I knew it was in there because there wasn't a second shell.

I modified this script from itunes to use Spotify form the process list everything works but the Player position I receive from Spotify is very accurate and Returns 12 Decimal places

get player position
		--> 294.496002197266

Can someone help me round this so the Result has no Decimal Places?

Thanks

The Script

tell application "System Events"
	set myList to (name of every process)
end tell

if myList contains "Spotify" then
	tell application "Spotify"
		try
			set trackname to name of current track
			set artistname to artist of current track
			set albumname to album of current track
			
			set timetofinish to player position
			set hourstofinish to timetofinish div 3600
			set secondstofinish to timetofinish mod 3600
			set minutostofinish to secondstofinish div 60
			set secondstofinish to secondstofinish mod 60
			
			
			if hourstofinish < 10 then set hourstofinish to "0" & hourstofinish
			if minutostofinish < 10 then set minutostofinish to "0" & minutostofinish
			if secondstofinish < 10 then set secondstofinish to "0" & secondstofinish
			
			if hourstofinish = "00" then
				set timetofinish to (minutostofinish as text) & ":" & secondstofinish
			else
				set timetofinish to (hourstofinish as text) & ":" & minutostofinish & ":" & secondstofinish
			end if
			
			if player state is paused then
				set output to artistname & trackname & return & albumname & return & "" & timetofinish
			else
				set output to artistname & " - " & trackname & return & albumname & return & timetofinish
			end if
			
		on error
			set timetofinish to "No song playing"
		end try
		
	end tell
	
else
	set output to "Offline"
	
end if

The Result

tell application "System Events"
	get name of every process
		--> {"loginwindow", "SystemUIServer", "Dock", "Finder", "ProFire Agent", "AirPort Base Station Agent", "DiskLed", "iTunesHelper", "Cinch", "smcFanControl", "Battery Health", "Twitter", "GeekTool Helper", "Yahoo! Widgets", "System Events", "Yahoo! Widgets", "AppleSpell", "mdworker", "GeekTool", "Image Events", "Spotify", "quicklookd", "Google Chrome", "Google Chrome Helper", "Google Chrome Helper", "Google Chrome Helper", "Mail", "AppleScript Editor", "osascript"}
end tell
tell application "Spotify"
	get name of current track
		--> "Stream Of Consciousness"
	get artist of current track
		--> "Dream Theater"
	get album of current track
		--> "Train of Thought"
	get player position
		--> 294.496002197266
	get player state
		--> playing
end tell
Result:
"Dream Theater - Stream Of Consciousness
Train of Thought
04:54.496002197266"
