I just did the following for someone, so I thought I would share it. The technique can be used for any command-line output; the number of output lines displayed is a function of the height of your panel and your selected font. Enjoy.
#!/bin/sh # xfce4-hdate-plugin # # This one-line script illustrates a simple method for displaying the # Hebrew date in an xfce4 panel, using the hdate command-line program, # and the xfce4-genmon-plugin. Save this one-liner to some location, # say ~/.local/bin/xfce4-hdate-plugin, mark it executable, add an # instance of the 'generic monitor' plugin to your panel, and # configure the plugin to point to this script. In the plugin's # configuration, I needed to explicitly specify the absolute pathname # to the executable, and found that it did not like pipes. The plugin # configuration also allows one to set the refresh interval and font, # for example 60 seconds and 'Liberation sans narrow condensed 12' hdate -qSb | awk 'NR==2{$NF=""; $1=""; print $0}' -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
