 Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:21 pm Post subject: torsmo Tips & Tricks |
 |
|
Sure, we've got a problems thread, but why not a tips and tricks thread? For posting useful ideas.
First, never underestimate the power of the execi command. I've used it for things like checking on Folding@Home unit Status, System Logs, etc. I've seen other people use it for things like monitoring weather. Incredibly powerful command.
Here's my current .torsmorc file - It's almost entirely borrowed from the Forums user who I give credit to at the top. I'm in the process of tweaking it to my liking, but when I first saw it I was like "This is what I've been trying to do for a few months", so when he posted his I decided to scrap my homemade .torsmorc and modify his (with credit, of course)
.torsmorc: | Code: | # torsmo configuration

Awesome that someone finally did this! :)
Here's some tips:
You can use torsmo to view logs instead of root-tail or terminal. Just add the following in your .torsmorc: | Code: | | ${exec tail -n <lines> <logfile>} |
<lines> determines how many lines of the log file is displayed, and add the log file of you choice on <logfile>
Use gimp to decorate torsmo with some nice graphics like icons or background color. Just edit your current background image and use the edited image as your background and you might get something like this . :)
You can set the width of bars in torsmo 0.18 like this: | Code: | | ${fs_bar <height>,<width> /} |

this seems very anti-the point of torsmo...
at least i use it because it doesnt use up much resources (if you wanted it to you coul duse gdesklets etc..)
it doesnt even seem like you do that much new stuff anyway...
no offence meant...

But is there a way to get custom colors to render in torsmo, insead of just the pre-defined ones?
I would like to have the text in torsmo complement my BG. Gradients would be even better
[edit]
I found my answer...
just put ${color #xxyyzz} and it renders.

I posted this a little while in the Documentation, Tips, and Tricks forum...but since there's now a topic just for torsmo tips I'll drop it in here too.
http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_id=558448391420906f97b52c&p=screen
The Torsmo on the left is an offshoot of a manual tracker I had in xpad (just writing down what I last emerged and unmerged). I was asked how I did that...when I said it wasn't automatic we got thinking.....so here's what we came up with (thanks psyqil for the LAST UNMERGED line):
you're gonna want this...it parses your emerge.log . I'm sure you could do this rather manually but since someone's already figured out the hard parts why reinvent the wheel? 
.torsmorc3:
| Code: | TEXT
LAST EMERGED:
${execi 180 sudo genlop -ln|tail -n 3}
LAST UNMERGED:
${execi 180 sudo genlop -un \.\*|grep \<\<\<|tail -n 3}
LAST SYNC:
${execi 180 cat /var/cache/edb/dep/timestamp.chk}
NEXT SYNC:
Saturday @ 00:30 |
Play around with it and see what you can do....I'm still looking for a way to automate that last command (I've got emerge sync on a cron job). Enjoy! |

I don't know where to post this... I've made a patch to make torsmo support several maildirs. They are specified in .torsmorc like this:
| Code: | # mail spool
mail_spool $HOME/.maildir/in-udc:$HOME/.maildir/in-terra:$HOME/.maildir/in-teleline |
I have tested it with the maildir format, and works well. I haven't tested it with mboxes, though. If someone is interested, here is the patch. |

Display XMMS info on Torsmo
I don't know if this has been done before, but I coded up a quick perl script to display the current song XMMS is playing on my Torsmo.
Step 1: You need the xmms-infopipe plugin for XMMS.
| Code: | | $ emerge -av xmms-infopipe |
Step 2: Fire up XMMS and enable the plugin, found in Preferences -> General Plugins
Step 3: Play a song and verify xmms-info (symlink), xmms-info_$USERNAME.0, and xmms_$USERNAME.0 exist in /tmp. "cat /tmp/xmms-info" to see the current song information.
Step 4: Install the XMMS::InfoPipe perl module if you don't already have it.
Step 5: Copy this xmms.pl to wherever your heart desires and modify it to your liking. (: I like to keep my scripts in my ~/.torsmo directory. Don't forget to give it execute permissions.
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Perl script to display XMMS song info on Torsmo
# Requires XMMS::InfoPipe module and xmms-infopipe plugin
use XMMS::InfoPipe;
my $numArgs = $#ARGV+1;
if($numArgs != 1) {
print "Usage error: xmms.pl [keyname]\n";
exit;
}
else {
my $key = $ARGV[0];
my $xmms = XMMS::InfoPipe->new();
my $playing = $xmms->is_playing();
my $paused = $xmms->is_paused();
# display info since XMMS is playing/paused
if($playing == 1 || $paused == 1) {
# extract song artist
if($key eq "Artist") {
my $title = $xmms->{info}->{Title};
@song = split(/ - /, $title);
my $artist = $song[0];
#truncate long artist names
if(length($artist) >= 30) {
my $temp = substr($artist, 0, 30);
$artist = $temp . "...";
}
print $artist , "\n";
}
# extract song title
elsif($key eq "Title") {
my $title = $xmms->{info}->{Title};
@song = split(/ - /, $title);
print $song[1] , "\n";
}
# join position and length times, ie 2:04 / 4:50
elsif($key eq "Time") {
my $length = $xmms->{info}->{Time};
my $position = $xmms->{info}->{Position};
print $position , " / " , $length , "\n";
}
# format bitrate, ie 192 kbps
elsif($key eq "Bitrate") {
my $bitrate = $xmms->{info}->{"Current bitrate"};
print $bitrate/1000 , " kbps\n";
}
# number of tunes in playlist
elsif($key eq "Playlist") {
my $tunes = $xmms->{info}->{"Tunes in playlist"};
print $tunes , " tunes\n";
}
# print out info for other keys (case sensitive, 'cat /tmp/xmms-info')
else {
print $xmms->{info}->{$key} , "\n";
}
}
# display status only since XMMS is not playing/paused
else {
if($key eq "Status") {
print $xmms->{info}->{Status} , "\n";
}
}
}
|
Step 6: Add these lines to your ~/.torsmorc file. Change accordingly.
| Code: |
$stippled_hr
XMMS:
${color grey}Status : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Status}
${color grey}Playlist : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Playlist}
${color grey}Title : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Title}
${color grey}Artist : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Artist}
${color grey}Bitrate : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Bitrate}
${color grey}Time : $color${execi 10 perl ~/.torsmo/xmms.pl Time}
$stippled_hr
|
I know the code's not pretty and you can tell that programming isn't my expertise, but it works. Maybe someone can optimize it.
The argument you pass into xmms.pl is the name of the info you want, such as Status, Position, Title.. although I modified "Title" to return the song title, "Artist" to return the song artist (since they're both on one line in xmms-info), and "Time" to display a concatenated version of Position / Time. And also truncate the artists' names since some of mine are long and it will auto expand the Torsmo window, which isn't good at all.
| Code: |

Display Weather.com forecast info on Torsmo
Step 1: Copy forecast.sh to wherever you want, maybe ~/.torsmo. Change accordingly (DAYS, LOCID, LOCALXMLFILE) and run it in your /etc/crontab, maybe at a 6 hour interval or so. Refer to XML.com: Rainy Day XML if you need more information on setting up the feed. Don't forget to give it execute permissions.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
# forecast.sh
# Run this in your /etc/crontab
# FIND YOUR LOCID
# ---------------
# First go to: http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=XXXXX
# The "XXXXX" can be anything you are searching for, such as zip code, city, state, or country.
# After loading that web page up you should have a search returned with a "loc id".
# The "loc id" will be used for your # weather.
DAYS="4"
LOCID="08872"
PARTNERID="1003666583"
LICENSEKEY="4128909340a9b2fc"
XMLFEED="http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/"
XMLFILE="$XMLFEED$LOCID?dayf=$DAYS&prod=xoap&par=$PARTNERID&key=$LICENSEKEY"
LOCALXMLFILE="/home/username/.torsmo/forecast.xml"
wget -N $XMLFILE -O $LOCALXMLFILE |
Step 2: Obtain and install the XML::Simple perl module if you don't already have it.
| Quote: | | XML::Simple requires either XML::Parser or XML::SAX. |
Step 3: Copy forecast.pl to wherever you want, maybe the same directory as forecast.sh. Change $xmlfile to the match forecash.sh's LOCALXMLFILE. Give it execute permissions.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
# forecast.pl
use XML::Simple;
my $xmlfile = "/home/username/.torsmo/forecast.xml";
my $xml = XMLin($xmlfile);
my $numArgs = $#ARGV+1;
my $arg = $ARGV[0];
if ($numArgs == 1) {
if ($arg eq "updated") {
print $xml->{dayf}->{lsup} . "\n";
}
else {
print $xml->{loc}->{$arg} . "\n";
}
exit;
}
elsif ($numArgs == 2) {
my $day = $ARGV[0];
my $info = $ARGV[1];
if ($info eq "condday") {
print $xml->{dayf}->{day}->[$day]->{part}->[0]->{t} . "\n";
}
elsif ($info eq "condnight") {

}
else {
print $xml->{dayf}->{day}->[$day]->{$info} . "\n";
}
} |
Step 4: Add these lines to your ~/.torsmorc file. Change accordingly.
| Code: | $stippled_hr
FORECAST:
${color grey}Updated : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl updated}
${color grey}Location : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl dnam}
${color grey}Sunrise : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl sunr}
${color grey}Sunset : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl suns}
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 1 t}
${color grey}High : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 1 hi} F
${color grey}Low : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 1 low} F
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 1 condday}
${color grey}Night : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 1 condnight}
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 2 t}
${color grey}High : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 2 hi} F
${color grey}Low : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 2 low} F
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 2 condday}
${color grey}Night : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 2 condnight}
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 3 t}
${color grey}High : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 3 hi} F
${color grey}Low : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 3 low} F
${color grey}Day : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 3 condday}
${color grey}Night : $color${execi 1800 perl ~/.torsmo/forecast.pl 3 condnight}
$stippled_hr |
forecast.pl usage: forecast.pl [arg1] [arg2], where [arg1] is the day you want (0 is today, 1 is tomorrow, etc.) and [arg2] is the xml tag you want to extract. I added "condday" and "condnight" to facilate getting the day and night conditions, respectively. If sent only one argument, it returns the current information. Just have a look at the generated forecast.xml and play around with it to extract the values you want.
Here's a screenshot of my Torsmo.

Display your Gmail info on Torsmo
Step 1: Obtain and install the Mail::Webmail::Gmail and GMail::Checker perl modules.
Step 2: Copy gmail.pl to wherever you want, maybe ~/.torsmo. Change accordingly ($username, $password, and $gmailfile), chmod +x gmail.pl, and run it in your /etc/crontab, maybe at a 5 minute interval or so.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
# gmail.pl
use Mail::Webmail::Gmail;
use GMail::Checker;
my $username = "user.name"; # your Gmail username
my $password = "password"; # your Gmail password
my $gmailfile = "/home/username.torsmo/gmail.txt";
my $newmessages = 0;
my @subjects = ();
my $gwrapper = new GMail::Checker();
$gwrapper->login($username, $password);
my ($totalmessages, $usedspace) = $gwrapper->get_msg_nb_size();
$gwrapper->close();
my $gmail = Mail::Webmail::Gmail->new(
username => $username, password => $password, encrypt_session => 1
);
my ($usage, $capacity, $usagep) = $gmail->size_usage();
my $messages = $gmail->get_messages(
label => $Mail::Webmail::Gmail::FOLDERS{ 'INBOX' }
);
foreach ( @{ $messages } ) {
if ( $_->{ 'new' } ) {
$newmessages += 1;
my $subject = $_->{ 'subject' };
$subject =~ s/<(.*?)>//gi; # remove <b> tags
push(@subjects, $subject);
}
}
open(FD, "> " . $gmailfile) or die("Could not open file.\n");
print FD "totalmessages=" . $totalmessages . "\n";
print FD "newmessages=" . $newmessages . "\n";
print FD "status=Using " . $usage . " (" . $usagep . ") of " . $capacity . "\n";
for($i=0; $i<=$#subjects; $i++) {
print FD $subjects[$i] . "\n";
}
close(FD); |
Step 3: gmail.pl will produce gmail.txt in the following format:
| Code: | crishchun@christian ~ $ cat ~/.torsmo/gmail.txt
totalmessages=263
newmessages=3
status=Using 33 MB (3%) of 1000 MB
Find for the designer
Fwd: Keona Ariana Paler
Fwd: thank you
|
Step 4: Copy gmail_extract.pl to wherever you want, maybe the same directory as gmail.pl. Change $file to the match gmail.pl's $gmailfile.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
# gmail_extract.pl
my $numArgs = $#ARGV+1;
if($numArgs != 1) {
die ("Usage error: gmail_extract.pl [info]\n");
exit;
}
else {
my $file = "/home/username/.torsmo/gmail.txt";
my $arg = $ARGV[0];
open (HANDLE, $file) or die ("Could not open file.");
@LINES = <HANDLE>;
if ($arg eq "newsubjects") {
$line = $LINES[1];
my ($foo, $newmessages) = split(/=/, $line);
if($newmessages > 0) {
for($i=3; $i<=$#LINES; $i++) {
my $num = $i-2;
my $sub = $LINES[$i];
# truncate long subjects so it will not
# autoexpand the tormso window
if(length($sub) >= 40) {
my $temp = substr($sub, 0, 40);
$sub = $temp . "...\n";
}
print " " . $num . ". " . $sub;
}
}
}
# how many total message do I have?
if($arg eq "totalmessages") {
$line = $LINES[0];
my ($foo, $total) = split(/=/, $line);
$total =~ s/[\r\n]//g; # remove \n
print "There are " . $total . " messages\n";
}
# how many new messages do I have?
if($arg eq "newmessages") {
$line = $LINES[1];
my ($foo, $new) = split(/=/, $line);
$new =~ s/[\r\n]//g; # remove \n
if($new == 0) { print "There are no new messages\n"; }
elsif($new == 1) { print "There is one new message\n"; }
else { print "There are " . $new . " new messages\n"; }
}
# usage status
if($arg eq "status") {
$line = $LINES[2];
my ($foo, $retval) = split(/=/, $line);
print $retval;
}
close (HANDLE);
} |
Step 4: Add these lines to your ~/.torsmorc file. Change accordingly.
| Code: | GMAIL:
${color grey}Status : $color${execi 300 perl ~/.torsmo/gmail_extract.pl status}
${color grey}Messages : $color${execi 300 perl ~/.torsmo/gmail_extract.pl totalmessages}
${color grey}New : $color${execi 300 perl ~/.torsmo/gmail_extract.pl newmessages}
$color${execi 300 perl ~/.torsmo/gmail_extract.pl newsubjects} |
Have a look at Mail::Webmail::Gmail documentation to extract more info, such as sender, date, etc. If someone can pick at the code and figure out how to get the total messages without the GMail::Checker module, that would be great! Here's a screenshot of my Torsmo.

Step 1: Copy forecast.sh to wherever you want, maybe ~/.torsmo. Change accordingly (DAYS, LOCID, LOCALXMLFILE) and run it in your /etc/crontab, maybe at a 6 hour interval or so. Refer to XML.com: Rainy Day XML if you need more information on setting up the feed. Don't forget to give it execute permissions.

wget -N $XMLFILE -O $LOCALXMLFILE |
Step 2: Obtain and install the XML::Simple perl module if you don't already have it.
| Quote: | | XML::Simple requires either XML::Parser or XML::SAX. |
Step 3: Copy forecast.pl to wherever you want, maybe the same directory as forecast.sh. Change $xmlfile to the match forecash.sh's LOCALXMLFILE. Give it execute permissions.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl

My .torsmorc has font 6x10 and I just placed spaces manually before each colon. It also helps if you have a monospaced font in your terminal or text editor.

at least i use it because it doesnt use up much resources (if you wanted it to you coul duse gdesklets etc..) |
i use it because it fits to my X environment.
torsmo replaces root-tail and any other "notification" application on my desktop (for the console irssi does all of this ), i can extend it on-the-fly and it doesnt use much resources, afaict less than an open xterm.
| killfire wrote: | | it doesnt even seem like you do that much new stuff anyway... |
not much, but a "|" in the text area of torsmorc will align the rest of the line to the right, since you cant have two torsmos open when double buffering and i wanted to have my window title top-left and the title of current playing song top-right. |

Very interesting thread, really I think I gotta recheck my .torsmorc soon, esp. the genlop combination. I'm still waiting for the day though that it supports having a (transparent  ) background field.

Add your user to the "cron" group, then do:
| Code: | | crontab -e username |
then add the job you want.
For example, if you want to check your gmail every 5 minutes, put this in your crontab:
| Code: | | */5 * * * * /home/username/.torsmo/gmail.pl |
Might not be the best way, but it works for me.

Another perl question:
Any time I try to run gmail.pl, it says:
| Code: | $ ./gmail.pl
Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/Webmail/Gmail.pm line 6.

I can't get cron to work...I just emerged dcron, and I added myself to the cron group by editing /etc/groups, and when I type groups, it shows up...but it won't run it. My cron list is
| Code: |

* */2 * * * ~/.torsmo/gmail.pl
* */6 * * * ~/.torsmo/forecast.sh

Any ideas? |

Well, I did that (although I left out 'root', and just had my command..does that matter?) and it still doesn't work. Is there anyway to force a cronjob to run?
