[solved] script question for WaterMark Screenlet

[ccnjim]

I like to use the watermark screenlet to monitor my hardware so I installed
Screenlets and all the necessary dependencies. All the watermark screenlets are
working except the python script for cpu speed.
When I log in I get an error message in the screenlet.

error message for watermark cpu speed after login
intel Q6600 @ 2400
GHzgawk:/^cpu MHz/
{print "
gawk: ^
unterminated string

I re-enter the python script and it loads the correct values.
The default script I have to reload is:

#cat /proc/cpuinfo|gawk -F: -- '/^cpu MHz/{ print "\n" int($2) " MHz"; }'|tr -s
'\n\n' '\n'

Is there another way to write the script so it loads automatically?
I entered the hash mark in the code box because I didn't want to blow up the internet.

Re: script question for WaterMark Screenlet

not familiar with screenlets, as they seem to be a compiz thing, but you might have more knowledgeable folks over at the compiz forum for screenlets, though maybe someone here has some good info for you

Thanks for the link. Screenlets are a gnome package. I didn't find anything at the compiz [or ubuntu] forum. I finally found what I needed with google.

And that was what? You asked for help, then found an answer on your own (good job). So others may benefit, it is standard forum etiquette to post answers/solutions to questions asked.

Please accept my apology. I see what you mean. By marking my thread solved it should include the solution I found.

The command I finally found is:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz

I inserted it into the custom sensor command line. Changed the dimensions of the WaterMark screenlet until the layout worked for me. Tested it with glxgears and it works fine.

I preferred the way it looked with the python script but this way it starts by itself.
