Geeklets

This is a great script! I made is a bit more scalable by adding in a conditional statement to determine what interface is being used. ethernet/wireless.

Add the below code to top of shell script

EN0=`ifconfig en0 | grep 'status' | awk '{print $2}'`

EN1=`ifconfig en1 | grep 'status' | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ $EN0 == 'active' ] ; then

INTF=en0

elif [ $EN1 == 'active' ] ; then

INTF=en1

fi

Is anyone successfully running this on Lion? Mine broke when I upgraded.

Stopped working for me, too. If I run the script in Terminal, it works fine. But GeekTool just won't display any output. I hope someone can make a suggestion.

Not my work, pieced together from others, but works in Lion.

EN0=`ifconfig en0 | grep 'status' | awk '{print $2}'`

EN1=`ifconfig en1 | grep 'status' | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ $EN0 == 'active' ] ; then

INTERFACE=en0

elif [ $EN1 == 'active' ] ; then

INTERFACE=en1

fi

SAMPLE_A=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -bI "$INTERFACE" | awk "/$INTERFACE/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`);

sleep 1;

SAMPLE_B=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -bI "$INTERFACE" | awk "/$INTERFACE/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`);

BANDWIDTH_USAGE=(`echo "2k ${SAMPLE_B[0]} ${SAMPLE_A[0]} - 1024 / p" "${SAMPLE_B[1]} ${SAMPLE_A[1]} - 1024 / p" | dc`);printf "In: \t%.2f Kb/sec\nOut: \t%.2f Kb/sec\n" ${BANDWIDTH_USAGE[0]} ${BANDWIDTH_USAGE[1]};
