Use this with a fixed-width font to get you started. Just a guess...

ps -Aro ucomm,%cpu

Two Calendars?

Does anyone know how to put up two different calendars on the desktop?

for example: Gregorian calendar and the Islamic Calendar.

Weatehr Image:
Current Image Grabber - here the text REMAINING_LINK_INFORMATION was obtained by going to yahoo weather and imputing my zip code, and copying the resultant URL.
This grabs the image on the weather site and copies it to my harddrive. This shell does not, by itself, display anything on the desktop.

your http should read similar to mine...

curl --silent "http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/texas/houston-2424766/" | grep "forecast-icon" | sed "s/.*background\:url(\'\(.*\)\')\;\ _background.*/\1/" | xargs curl --silent -o /var/tmp/weather10.png\

This part goes in the "Image" section of geektool>>>
Current"Image" Display - This displays the image from the previous step.

file://localhost/var/tmp/weather10.png

First picture is what I had and the second is what I have.

Only change in what is visible is the picture of the weather condition. Also made some changes to the coding to have better performance while showing the same info.

Rss

I wrote a tiny Ruby script to display RSS-feeds.

It takes a RSS-link as the only parameter and displays the channel name + the time and title of each item.

Put something like this in the Command field of GeekTool (I saved it as "rss.rb" in my personal bin directory):

~/bin/rss.rb https://www.macrumors.com/macrumors.xml

Script:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rss'
require 'open-uri'

rss = RSS::Parser.parse open(ARGV.shift).read, false

puts rss.channel.title

rss.items.each_with_index do |item,i|
  puts "" if i.zero? or item.date.day != rss.items[i-1].date.day

  puts "#{item.date.strftime '%H:%M'}  #{item.title}"
end

Remember to turn on the executable bit: chmod +x rss.rb
No need to install Ruby by the way, it's already included in OS X, so it should work out of the box.

I can't seem to get the weather to work. I have installed curl gui but i still can't get the weather to appear. Would anyone mind posting the link to a direct download of curl or lynx. And how to do it

quote of the day

hey there!
loving geektool

i've searched all 40 something pages and can't find good code for a quote of the day command.

anybody have suggestions?

ps...i'd attach a screenshot of my desktop but grab makes a 2.6mb file that is too big to attach. i'll post it in the cloud in a few minutes.

thanks

Is there a way to get the console log to display and update with Geektool?

Is there a way to get the console log to display and update with Geektool?

Couldn't you just configure Geektools with File (instead of Shell) and point the file to users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Logs/.../XXXX.log (or whatever file you want to display)?

Hi,

am i seeing it wrong or the link you posted actually as the command to do it?

CPU hogger!

ps -acx -o %cpu,command | awk '!/0.0/&&!/%CPU/ {if($1>t){t=$1;v=$0}} END{print v}'

Top Processes

top -ocpu -FR -l2 -n20 | grep '^....[1234567890] ' | grep -v ' 0.0% ..:' | cut -c 1-24,33-42,64-77

I didn't have a chance to test so ...
