Someone requested that I send them a copy of my rotating status bar
program but I can't find their email. I hope its all right to send it
to the list:
First, in your .screenrc add the following line:
backtick 1 60 60 /home/harleypig/screen_statusbar_info
The /home/... is the path and name of the script I wrote.
Add %1` (that's percent one backtick) wherever you want this to appear
in your hardstatus line. Here's mine:
hardstatus string "%c:%s %D %m-%d-%Y | %l | %1` | %n %t %W"
The concept is really easy. The script will run every 60 seconds and
the data will be displayed for 60 seconds (could someone elaborate
what the docs mean by the data will be 'considered valid'?--the data
remains on the screen whatever I set the lifespan to) before it is run
again. You may want to experiment with some different numbers.
screen will take the last line of output and put it in place of the
%1`.
Here's my script. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Also, I'm experimenting with the backtick 1 0 0 /program option (this
will background the program, or else the program will have to
background itself, I'm not sure yet--and take each line as its printed
and display it).
Oh, and the gmail sub doesn't return the number of messages, it seems
to be broked.
