John · 2016-01-01 20:47:40

was browsing the web and come across this script
pretty cool you can add images to your terminal

Nice find (it needs w3m-img for images btw).

Snap · 2016-01-02 11:25:33

Great one! Thanks for the link.

The custom image code part is interesting on its own. Darn cool.

Thanks John, never seen one with an image display before

John · 2016-01-02 13:21:27

Is this your script John?

I have a diff here for OpenBSD packages support:
https://github.com/Head-on-a-Stick/fetc … e60b9c6da2

I'll add some more when I can (I'm not good with scripting so don't expect too much )

EDIT: Added `uptime` support but it generates a trailing comma that I will have to remove somehow.

I'm not very good at this but it's fun

@Head_on_a_Stick not my script just found it while browsing around

@ Hoas:
This is one possible way of removing the time-stamp prefix and the trailing "," for the OPENBSD case:

uptime=( $(uptime|awk -F, '{ print $1 }') )
unset uptime[0]
uptime="${uptime[@]}"

Edit: this is a bash solution.

^ Thank you very much xaos52!

Unfortunately, uptime(1) is a bit more limited than the GNU/Linux equivalent

The standard output format is:

$ uptime
 6:08PM  up  1:23, 1 user, load averages: 1.14, 1.13, 1.22

At the risk of embarrassing myself [1], this is the best I can do with your example:

$ uptime|awk -F, '{ print $1 }'|awk '{print $3}' 
1:24

I think there may be a more elegant way of doing that -- give me a bit...

[1] Too late! :8

xaos52 · 2016-01-02 18:41:28

Simpler solution:

uptime=$(uptime|awk -F, '{ print $1 }')
uptime="${uptime# * }"

or, if you don't want the 'up' prefix neither:

uptime=$(uptime|awk -F, '{ print $1 }')
uptime="${uptime# * up }"

These might not work if the leading space is not there when the minutes are double digits.
In that case you might have to delete the leading space first in a separate command:

uptime=$(uptime|awk -F, '{ print $1 }')
uptime=${uptime# }
uptime="${uptime#* up }"

That's the one!

Uptime:  2:13

Thank you so much

Should work in all cases.

Hi there, author of the script here!

I finished rewriting the script from scratch today, see:

https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch.sh/releases

I'm going to bed now but open an issue on github and I'll work on openbsd support tomorrow morning.

Thanks for using my script!

Edit: I've quickly added the base for OpenBSD support. Thanks the uptime lines xaos52! I've also created an issue on github where you can report issues with the script on OpenBSD to help me get it working.

Now I'm going to bed.

Edit2: The script also works with mksh and sh, all you have to do is change the shebang at the top!

@dylan,
Debian-based distro's need packages 'w3m' and 'w3m-img' installed to display images

I only needed to install w3m so I thought they were bundled together. I've added a note to the readme about it.

Thanks.
