macOS Check battery status from the console?

[rebby]

Does anybody know of a way to check the battery status from the console on a Macbook? I'd like to create a cron job that will only execute if running on A/C power.

I've done a few searches and have come up empty thus far. Thanks!

Looks like I jumped the gun on this one. It's buried with-in ioreg ->

ioreg -l | awk '/ExternalConnected/ {print $5}'

Will output "Yes" if external power is connected, "No" otherwise.
