Oh, by the way, if you only want to read the data then you may not need to mess with owserver -- just open the appropriate temperature file and read from it. From shell scripts it is a simple as using cat: $ cat /owfs/28.6618A2020000/temperature; echo 16.5625 If using some other scripting language, you can do something like (this example is for Perl): if (!open SENSOR, "/owfs/28.6618A2020000/temperature") { print STDERR "Can't open temperature file: $!\n"; exit 1; } my $temperature = <SENSOR>; close SENSOR; $temperature =~ s/ *//; # " 82.7375" -> "82.7375" # Do something with $temperature Cheers, Eloy Paris.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
