Hi Richard,

Looking for ideas on how to accomplish two functions from within Rev:

1. Read the status of the internal battery (i.e. % charged);

I can't help with the volume boost, but here is the script I use for reading the battery charge in an iBook. It requires the shell command "battery" which you can download from <http://www.mitt-eget.com/software/macosx/>. I couldn't get that link to work this morning, so if you want the shell command, let me know off-list and I can email you a copy.
I put it into the "/usr/bin/" folder but you can put it anywhere you like if you send the full path to the shell function. It can give you a whole heap of info - run it in Terminal and check the help, but the function below just returns the percent charge or "n/a" if there is no battery.



-- check battery level using OS X shell command -- battery script needs to be in /usr/bin/ -- -- returns percent charge or "n/a" -- function batteryLevel if isOSX() then put shell("battery csv") into tBatt put last item of line 1 of tBatt into tPercent put item 4 of tBatt into tFlags if char 6 of tFlags = 0 then -- no battery connected put "n/a" into tPercent end if else -- OS 9 can't use shell commands put "n/a" into tPercent end if return tPercent end batteryLevel

Cheers,
Sarah
