battery stats in terminal

[omega30one]

ok, i really should write down the unix commands from macworld. anyway, a little bit ago, they (macworld) gave a unix command that then displayed the battery's charge, max capacity, current capacity, and # of charges. any ideas as to the command?

thanks,

He probably was talking about the ioreg command (ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n "battery" -w 0)... however this is a much easier way of displaying it with this script. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030311220217671&query=battery

However since Tiger if you look at the system profiler under power it already displays the battery info above, i believe.
