good

I just can't get the shell working. What I'm doing wrong? I type in command:

`osascript /Users/valtteriseppala/DiskCapasityMeter.DCM.scpt/` and it sows me the red light and won't work. What should I do?

The circle shows up when I installed the scripts but the light indicator isn't showing up. I made sure I don't have any typos or anything. any help?

I had the same problem. When I ran the script I noticed it was putting an additional "/" before the .png file. Evidently when I plugged in the file path I used a trailing "/". Just open the script with apple script editor and run it and see what the output path is.

I thought you might need to rename the disk somehow but turns out not to be the case.

Hi. I like your images better than the volume ones by midnighttokerkate that jramer uses.

I've gotten your script to work for my boot drive, but I've got five drives I'd like to monitor.

How can I adapt your script to work with multiple drives?

Thanks.

Thanks, I love it!

Hi! I'm not exactly a AppleScript pro, so maybe I make something wrong. Once I set the path in the script, it takes a lot of time to save it. Is it normal? Is there something else I have to replace in the script?

Thanks..

Thanks for the geeklet!

Here's my attempt to change your AppleScript into bash shell script. To use the bash shell script.

1. Edit the **disk1** to the disk name you want to monitor. The easiest way to find that out is to run `df` in a Terminal window and check the **Filesystem** column.

2. Save the shell script as DCM.sh in the same folder with the **temp.png** file and **img** subfolder.

3. The shell geeklet should be `source DCMP/DCM.sh` where **DCMP** is the path to the shell script.

**Edit:** Somehow the Markdown codes aren't cooperating with me, so I uploaded the sample DCM.sh to Droplr. Link: http://d.pr/tCsX

That's pretty cool - looks nice an minimal.

What would be the advantage of running it as a shell script? Sorry for asking, just that I've got it running and I'm really wondering if there's any benefit to spending more time tweaking it...

Im trying to get this to work on my Network drive and have amended the following but I'm getting errors:

df -hl = df -h (to show network drive)

Disk0s2 = New%20Media (to grep the correct drive)

------------------------------------

on run

-- Set the path to the directory of the DiskCapacityMeter folder

-- For example: "/Users/name/Documents/GeekTool/DiskCapacityMeter/"

set pathName to "/Users/name/Documents/GeekTool/DiskCapacityMeter/"



-- df -h | grep 'New%20Media' | awk '{sub(/%/, "");print $5}'

-- Substitute % with ""

set usedSpace to (do shell script "df -h | grep 'New%20Media' | awk '{sub(/%/, \"\");print $5}'") as integer



-- Getting the rounded number

set theNumber to (round (usedSpace / 5)) * 5



-- Replacing the image

do shell script ("cp " & pathName & "/img/" & theNumber & ".png " & pathName & "/temp.png")

end run

------------------------------------

I'm ending up with the following error:

tell current application

do shell script "df -h | grep 'Shows' | awk '{sub(/%/, \"\");print $5}'"

--> "95%"

Result:

error "Can’t make \"95%\" into type integer." number -1700 from "95%" to integer

comparing it with the original mine is adding the % sign...

Can anyone help on this?

Thank you in advance!

I really like this and was wondering if you could do it for other things like cpu usage, Ram, download/upload speed. and maybe have different colors too. There is one for ram i found but it doesnt seem to work and it seems the instructions are just copy and pasted from this one.

Love this. have now based my whole desktop around a number of dials based on this (I'll share soon as I get a change to post)

I have used this geeklet to indicate used memory. The geeklet is included at:

http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/collections/geeklets-with-backgrounds-for-each-one-modified-ntika-set/

I downloaded this one again, i failed to set it up on my other laptop. Now i bought a 15 inch retina. I still have the same problems in getting it to work properly.

My knowledge about the scripts on a mac is next to zero. I've managed to get the time and date and RAM status up and running again. anyway here's the problem. The circle is on the desktop already, that's all good. I cannot get the script to run which is included in the download. when i've set the path it sais syntax error. there's no acces to that path. Here's the quote: "/Users/rutgervandoorn/Documents/Geektool/DiskCapacityMeter/" kan niet worden ingesteld op "PATH". Toegang niet toegestaan. This is in dutch but it says cannot be rooted to a "PATH". Access Denied. Any help with this please!

can someone upload a video? or make this into a geaklet or do something plz? the text isn't very easy to follow :)
