[Art_X]

[Haggis Veteran]

still working on this when i can, has anyone come across any issues?

[Art_X]

I have been trying to fix the issue of it showing name="laptop" on Gentoo so that it just shows Laptop, but my linux scripting sucks, other than that it works fine for me :)

[Haggis Veteran]

Hello, are you still getting this issue?

 

any other issue from anyone

 

anything else you would like to see added?

[Barney T. Administrators]

Pinned!

[Haggis Veteran]

So is anyone getting any issues at all?

 

Is it all working as it should

 

Anything else you want to see it produce?

Working fine for me :)

I've got a couple of suggestions if you're accepting though:

• Swap the available/used values in RAM and Swap so that used comes first (e.g. RAM (available/used): 1.2GiB / 8GiB. Putting the "used" value first makes it more intuitive.
• Maybe detect if the output is a file (rather than the console), and if so remove the colouring from the output and omit the screenshot?
  For example:
  

  karl@PHOBOS (~) -> haggis-stats > output.txt
  karl@PHOBOS (~) -> cat output.txt
  <output>
  karl@PHOBOS (~) -> |

• Use environment variables to determine where to save the screenshot. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_SCREENSHOT_DIR="~/Pictures/Screenshots" should force screenshots to be saved in that directory, rather than in my current working directory.
• Use an environment variable to specify the default action of the script. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_DISABLE_SCREENSHOT=1" in my .zshrc should stop the script from screenshotting by default.

And that is one reason that you're an m.v.c. and one reason why I switched from Fedora to Debian lol You'e done a great job in the Linux section :)

 

Exactly why I even tried Debian was from seeing how much help xorangeman/Karl helped here in these forums! :)

 

Him alone, is way better than that crap Ubuntu forum and I've never had any luck with any derivative of Ubuntu anyway either.

 

Used to like Zenwalk a whole lot but as usual, simply tired of switching from Windows to Linux. Still use Windows mainly but have Wheezy on 2 machines that haven't gotten screwed up since installing over a year ago! I've never had a Linux distro last that long that didn't get messed up some way simply by an update of some type.

 

Might even have to give this script a try just to have something new to play with!!

 

Thanks guys :)

hey

 

working my way through this

 

Switched the Used and Total

 

also tried the display with no colors for files

 

file is at http://www.haggistech.co.uk/haggis-stats.pl

 

so could you try

haggis-stats file > /path/to/file.txt

is this what you meant?

[Haggis Veteran]

ok

 

I have done

 

• Swap the available/used values in RAM and Swap so that used comes first (e.g. RAM (available/used): 1.2GiB / 8GiB. Putting the "used" value first makes it more intuitive.
• Maybe detect if the output is a file (rather than the console), and if so remove the colouring from the output and omit the screenshot?
• Use environment variables to determine where to save the screenshot. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_SCREENSHOT_DIR="~/Pictures/Screenshots" should force screenshots to be saved in that directory, rather than in my current working directory.

anyone willing to test for me?

Hey dude, I'll give it a try this weekend hopefully. I'm stuck in the middle of a tight deadline so I've literally been going between my bed and the office.

[Haggis Veteran]

no worries

 

if it works ok will add in the Disable Screenshot too :)

Finally got around to checking this stuff out last night. Looks good! Everything seems to work fine. My only comment is that it seems a bit unecessary to have to do this...

haggis-stats file > output.txt

... when you can detect automatically whether or not output is being redirected to a file, allowing you to simply do this ...

haggis-stats > output.txt

Otherwise, it all looks sweet :)

[Haggis Veteran]

thanks i will look at that

 

still learning perl so bear with me

Please don't take my comment as a downer, you've done a great job with this. Just let me know when you're ready to do a release and I'll update the Arch AUR package :)

[simplezz]

Just tried this out. Great job guys. Thanks for the AUR package Majesticmerc (Y)

[Haggis Veteran]

would be interesting to see how many downloads this has had

[+Majesticmerc MVC]

Yeah that would be nice. The AUR doesn't provide those stats though :(. Is there anything on Github that tells you?

[Haggis Veteran]

nah the deb file is on dropbox just now, gonna add it to my own site so can me counted

[Haggis Veteran]

woooooo managed to do the output one

would anyone like to test

http://www.haggistech.co.uk/stats/haggis-stats_2.2.1_all.deb


so you can now do

haggis-stats > output.txt 

[+Majesticmerc MVC]

I'm just about to set off from work, I'll let you know when I get chance to play when I'm back :)

[Haggis Veteran]
