I understand that I must add a "if else" condition, but it doesn't work,
when I do, simply because I don't know correct syntax, and try to learn
on-the-fly).
here is my original script:
***********
while true
do
cpu_temp=$(cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal | awk '{printf("\x04 cpu: "$3"*"$4"
")}')
root_vol=$(df -h / | awk 'END {printf("\x01| root: "$5)}' | sed 's/Use%//')
home_vol=$(df -h /home| awk 'END {printf("\x01home: "$5)}' | sed 's/Use%//')
vol=$(aumix -q | awk '/vol/ {printf("\x01|\x03vol:"$3)}')
date=$(date | awk 'END {printf("\x01| \x01"$1" "$2" "$3)}')
uptime=$(uptime | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":"}; END {printf("\x01|"$1":"$2)}')
taskbar_info=$(echo -e $cpu_temp $root_vol $home_vol $vol $date $uptime)
xsetroot -name "$taskbar_info"
sleep 5
done
************
There should be "if $cpu_temp > 60 then; "do the command again with red
colors", and how can I check the range of "if" condition? For example:
when cpu temp is [50-55] then it should be blue, when it goes up to [60-65]
then red, so "if $cpu_temp == [50-55]; then "do command", but it doesn't
work(. Can somebody help me with syntax? Forgive me my ignorance, but I will
be very thankful if somebody will help with it.
