[gentoo-user] Adding output of 'uptime' to python sig

[Trey Sizemore]

I have a python script that I use currently in my sig and wanted to add
a line to show the output of the 'uptime' command.

Would someone be able to tell me how to do this?  Such as add it as a
line under the current sig?  Here's the script I'm using:

 #!/usr/bin/python

# change this to point to your file of quotes
aff_file = /home/trey/quotes.txt

import string, random

# hack this at will
print -- br
print Cheers,br
print Treybr
print ---br
print br

# cryptic python stuff which pulls a line from a text file
# at random
affs = open(aff_file,r)
affs = affs.readlines()
aff = affs[int(random.random() * len(affs))].split(\n)[0]

# print the randomly selected line
print aff

Cheers,

Change your import line to read:

import string, random, os

add this to read your uptime:

uptime=string.strip(os.popen(/usr/bin/uptime).readline())

add this to wherever you want it printed:

print uptime

Thanks, Dave.  One last item if you have the patience.  What would I
need to add the output of 'uname -a'?

Thanks again.

In answer to the question of why it happened,
I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply
one of those things which happen from time to time.

The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with
composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he
does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
