Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens
script ~/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather - I don't support it.
fork ~/Accuweather_conky_script/conkyconfig/Accuweather/1b2_ru - still support.
1b2_ru - localized script with minor improvements
1b2_en - English version
If you are interested, I can personally upload it to you on my Google disk.
With a little attention, you can find differences and similarities with the accuweather file and make the accuweather script work.

@il.harun,thanks to your hard work over the last few months.
I am happy to see that you are here with us again, you brightened my evening.

Yes, I am interested.
Of course, the best solution would be your return.
It's not the same with you and without you.

@marens
You can do it, I'll help.
  I will keep script 1b2_ru up to date for several months. This is where you get experience.

Thanks.
I downloaded the only_marens_Accuweather_conky_script.tar.gz file.
I will try to learn something new in the coming days.
The most important thing is that everything is working properly right now.

P.S.
I found your folder from 05/15/2022 in my conky archive.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

I promised to share some of my settings with everyone.

If you want to receive fresh data immediately after the start,
use this simple script.

Create a file accuweather_start.sh in Accuweather_conky_script folder.

Open file with text editor and copy/paste content:

#!/bin/bash

while true 
 
  do

    bash $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather -f2015
        
  sleep 500
      
done

If you use another command,replace it.
Save text editor.

Right click on file accuweather_start.sh > Properties > Permissions and check: Allow executing file as program.

This script will execute the command every 500s:

bash $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather -f2015

and send the retrieval data to the curr_cond file.

Now,you don't need this line in conky itself:

${texeci 500 bash $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather -f2015}

and remove her from conky.

Make sure the script starts immediately after login.
In Ubuntu it looks like this:
Menu > StartUp Applications > Add Button:

  Name: AccuWeather
  Command:  sh -c '$HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather_start.sh'
  Comment: Start AccuWeatherScript before Conky

Finally, delay the start conky 5s.

Reboot.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

Colored UV Index

Values:
Low (0-2)
Moderate (3-5)
High (6-7)
Very High (8-10)
Extreme (11+)

My colors:
color3 00AD00
color5 orange
color7 F2DA40
color8 magenta
color9 FF4040

Find Line:

UV INDEX: $color${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond}

Replace with:

UV INDEX:  ${color}\
${if_match "${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/.conky/SM*AccuWeather*Icons/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond | awk '{print $2}'}" == ""}-\
${else}\
${if_match "${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/.conky/SM*AccuWeather*Icons/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond | awk '{print $2}'}" != ""}\
${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/.conky/SM*AccuWeather*Icons/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond | awk '{print int($1+0.5)}'}\
${endif}${endif}\
${if_match "${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/.conky/SM*AccuWeather*Icons/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond | awk '{print $2}'}" == "(Low)"}${color3}  Low\

${else}${if_match "${texeci 600 sed -n '9p' $HOME/.conky/SM*AccuWeather*Icons/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond | awk '{print $2}'}" == "(Extreme)"}${color8}  Extreme\
${else}${endif}${endif}${endif}${endif}${endif}

Test:
Open curr_cond file

Change line 9:
12 Extreme

Save.
Restart conky.

EDIT
The code has been updated.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@Sector11
Thanks.

Show weather retrieval time

First line after Weather:

WEATHER${alignr 10}${font Ubuntu:size=9:italic}${blink ${color 0098FF}Retrieval Time:  ${color gold}${texeci 600 date -r $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond_raw -R | awk '{print $5}'}}

or without blink effect:

WEATHER${alignr 10}${font Ubuntu:size=9:italic}${color 0098FF}Retrieval Time:  ${color gold}${texeci 600 date -r $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond_raw -R | awk '{print $5}'}

Change colors,font,alignr XX ...

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens, Keep it up!   

Very nice!
I have always solved this via the script and a line in the conky.

		date +%T > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/update

and

${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/update}

@unklar,
@Sector11
Thanks.

Show Last Update

Add before(after) Retrieval Time.

Time when conky starts.
Now,we expect the next update in 600s(10m).

${color 0098FF}Last Update:  ${color gold}${texeci 600 date -R | awk '{print $5}'}

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@ marens and unklar

I have applied unklar's version to my weather script AND my mind kept ticking.

S11 thought
SELF!  When was the last time I updated my system?

And SELF replied

ummm Fri, 15 July 1842, how would I know?

So off into my bash aliases I go:  and "up2" gets edited:

alias up2='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade --no-install-recommends && date +%Y·%m·%d%n%T > /media/5/Conky/sysupdated'

 19 Feb 23 @ 10:59:59 ~
   $ date +%Y·%m·%d%n%T
2023·02·19
11:04:27

And 3 lines added in my conky:

${alignc}${color5}System Last updated${color}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' /media/5/Conky/sysupdated}
${alignc}@ ${texeci 600 sed -n '2p' /media/5/Conky/sysupdated}

As seen here top line on the left conky and in S Y S  I N F O in the conky on the right.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

${color 0098FF}Last Update:  ${color gold}${texeci 600 date -R | awk '{print $5}'}

Why not just use:  "date +%T" - no awk needed.
See unklar's example

I wonder if faketime can do seconds.

Or a "countdown" timer

Yes.
@unklar command "date +%T" is elegant.

I like to look for a solution in my own way.
Sometimes it's not good, but it's fun.

Example,

My way - System Info Last Update:

$ cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date'
End-Date: 2023-02-01  23:02:35
End-Date: 2023-02-01  23:06:18
End-Date: 2023-02-01  23:11:30
End-Date: 2023-02-01  23:12:11
End-Date: 2023-02-02  23:21:03
End-Date: 2023-02-06  18:33:01
End-Date: 2023-02-08  23:00:53
End-Date: 2023-02-08  23:06:01
End-Date: 2023-02-13  17:44:21
End-Date: 2023-02-14  15:06:33
End-Date: 2023-02-17  01:32:14
End-Date: 2023-02-17  01:38:24

$cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date' | sed -n '$p'
End-Date: 2023-02-17  01:38:24

$cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date' | sed -n '$p' | awk '{print $2}'
2023-02-17

$cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date' | sed -n '$p' | awk '{print $3}'
01:38:24

In your case:

${alignc}${color5}System Last updated${color}
${alignc}${texeci 600 cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date' | sed -n '$p' | awk '{print $2}'}
${alignc}@ ${texeci 600 cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep 'End-Date' | sed -n '$p' | awk '{print $3}'}

No script needed.

Or a "countdown" timer?
Thanks,no(for now).

Thanks, you gave me a new idea.
The system is upgraded once in few days, but every day it is updated several times.
It might be good to know when it was last done?

Check:

$ stat -c %y /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp

Test:

Run:

$ sudo apt update

Then:

$ stat -c %y /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp | awk -F'.' '{print $1}'

Maybe this is a better solution for your nice AccuWeather-SysInfo conky?

Just simulate upgrade.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

Malheureusement @loutch

Je n'ai plus de script corrigé.
Donc, je le laisse de côté jusqu'à ce que ces 'idiots de la météo des jeux' le cassent aussi:

I no longer have a debugged script.
So, I'll just leave that out until those 'game weather idiots' break that too:
