Hey Guys

Since I have upgraded to Lion, one of my geektool script is broken.. Actually not my script.. but copied from internet.. anyone good with programming , can u fix it please??

Code: 
# Change this to en0 for an ethernet connection instead of airport or en1 for airport
INTF=en1

# get the current number of bytes in and bytes out
sample1=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib | awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# wait one second
sleep 1

# get the number of bytes in and out one second later
sample2=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib | awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# find the difference between bytes in and out during that one second
# and convert bytes to kilobytes
results=(`echo "2k ${sample2[0]} ${sample1[0]} - 1024 / p" "${sample2[1]} ${sample1[1]} - 1024 / p" | dc`)

# print the results
printf "In: %.2f Kb/sec\nOut: %.2f Kb/sec\n" ${results[0]} ${results[1]}

I guess somewhere in awk command its going wrong..

Ok.. here is the problems.. there are two scripts spiting out errors to /var/log/system.log

Battery status Code
Code: 
my_ac_adapt=`ioreg -w0 -l | grep ExternalConnected | awk '{print $5}'` 
if [ "$my_ac_adapt" == "Yes" ] 
then 
echo "Power : External" 
else 
cur_power=`ioreg -w0 -l | grep CurrentCapacity | awk '{print $5}'` 
max_power=`ioreg -w0 -l | grep MaxCapacity | awk '{print $5}'` 
bat_percent=`echo "scale=2;$cur_power / $max_power" | bc` 
bat_percent=`echo "$bat_percent * 100" | bc | sed 's/.00//'` 
cyc_count=`ioreg -w0 -l | grep "Cycle Count" | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "=" } ; {print $8}' | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "}" } ; {print $1}'` 
echo "Power : Battery ($bat_percent%)" 
echo "Cycles : $cyc_count" 
fi

Error
Code: 
ul 28 18:58:54 hostname ioreg[46580]: FIXME: IOUnserialize has detected a string that is not valid UTF-8, "??????p???????????????????????".

Network Speed Code
Code: 
# Change this to en0 for an ethernet connection instead of airport or en1 for airport
INTF=en0

# get the current number of bytes in and bytes out
sample1=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib | awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# wait one second
sleep 1

# get the number of bytes in and out one second later
sample2=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib | awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# find the difference between bytes in and out during that one second and convert bytes to kilobytes
results=(`echo "2k ${sample2[0]} ${sample1[0]} - 1024 / p" "${sample2[1]} ${sample1[1]} - 1024 / p" | dc`)

# print the results
printf "In: %.2f Kb/sec\nOut: %.2f Kb/sec\n" ${results[0]} ${results[1]}

Error

I can't reproduce either error. both scripts run fine for me. The first error means a character that is not UTF-8 is being returned, which not sure how that happens; it's probably some weird character with an accent. As for the second error, it is self-explanatory, the process is already running so it can't be run again. Have you tried restarting your computer?

I get both the errors on my /var/log/system.log

Ofcourse I have rebooted N number of times and I cannot see any other script running duplicate..

When called, a battery should return normal characters; so maybe you have a faulty battery? Have you reinstalled Lion?

Try running this in Terminal:
Code: 
sudo /usr/libexec/configd -dv -t /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/PowerManagement.bundle

My output is (Which should be the norm):
Code: 
loading bundles
calling bundle load() functions
No more work for the "configd" plugins

As for the Network script, try copy pasting it into a file called "myscript.sh" on your desktop and then in terminal type:
Code: 
cd ~/Desktop;sh myscript.sh
(You can do the copy paste for the battery script also)

P.S. The scripts are perfectly fine, they're not buggy. This issue has to do with your setup.

Lion was a brand new install.. I get the same output as u..

Network script, I tried that.. same error.. already running.. but this time quotes the .sh file in error..

Ok... fixed the network speed one..

the problem is if i set it to refresh every 1s or say 2s or something.. the error pops up in system.log

but then the problem is that if i don't set it to that.. the update is not realtime..

Aloha its,

Here is my network script, which is based on the one you have. It shows both Ethernet (en0) and Airport (en1) stats, although the call to system_profiler makes the Airport one sometime not show up for a few seconds.

You'll notice the code commented at the top for the colors you can use in terminal. That's pretty cool and it works in GeekTool as well. Also, I left in the other commented lines. You can uncomment them if you want to see the output. For the available bandwidth, I simply added up the data in and data out figures and subtracted from the known total bandwidth. That's probably not the correct figure, but it's good enough for jazz. BTW, this is run on my iMac.

Aloha its,

I must apologize. I tweaked that script and made two scripts from it, one for the Ethernet and one for the Airport adapter. Here is the Ethernet script:

I use this same script for my Geektool setup and ever since I upgraded to the Lion friendly v3.0.1 the script will display for a few seconds and then disappear. very frustrating

The problem is that the arguments given to netstat look at all the interfaces. One of them causes it to pause for a long time. This fixes it:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
# Change this to en0 for an ethernet connection instead of airport
INTF=en1

# get the current number of bytes in and bytes out
sample1=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib -I $INTF | /usr/bin/awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# wait one second
/bin/sleep 1

# get the number of bytes in and out one second later
sample2=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib -I $INTF | /usr/bin/awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`)

# find the difference between bytes in and out during that one second
# and convert bytes to kilobytes
results=(`/bin/echo "2k ${sample2[0]} ${sample1[0]} - 1024 / p" "${sample2[1]} ${sample1[1]} - 1024 / p" | /usr/bin/dc`)

# print the results
/usr/bin/printf "In:\t\t%.2f Kb/sec\nOut:\t%.2f Kb/sec\n" ${results[0]} ${results[1]}
