I've found that the only way to implement something like this is to
have your backtick script vary the output according to the temperature.
For instance, here's a fragment from a script I use to output the
current disk use, colored according to percentage used:
if [[ "${PERCENTAGE}" -lt 85 ]]
then
echo -n "{= Kg}${HOST} ${DISK} (${PERCENTAGE}%)"
elif [[ "${PERCENTAGE}" -lt 92 ]]
then
echo -n "{= Ky}${HOST} ${DISK} (${PERCENTAGE}%)"
else
echo -n "{= Kr}${HOST} ${DISK} (${PERCENTAGE}%)"
fi
echo "{= Kk}"
cheers,
Adrian
