btw, 80% full on rootfs is nothing to worry about. That's fairly normal. Start worrying if it's around 95% full.

Yeah I think so too. It's kinda ugly when it's left aligned.

EDIT: Maybe this could be a configurable setting for each instance?

Here's command to show your n900's Boot Count (apparently your device may not boot if that count reaches 48-51):

Code:

cat /var/lib/dsme/boot_count

All thanks goes to les_garten http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=401 and contributors of this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...+count&page=41.

This may be useful for those who uses soft reboot to check MODs e.t.c.
Power off/power on should drop count to 6 or something like that. Each soft reboot will increase count by 3 (not by 1). For more infor read this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...+count&page=41

I saw 0.8 in devel today. Not sure what changes there are. Any ideas?

update: it seems to align the output to the right. nice.

Yep.. also .I added almost all of the scripts from here to the preloaded commands. But note that the preloaded commands are only showed/added to users without any previous config file for the widget (~/.desktop_cmd_exec ). This is necessary so that users with old config files continue to have their scripts/configurations running ok.

If you want to see those cmds u should remove (after backup) ur ".desktop_cmd_exec" file :/

I believe 0.8 will be the one at extras after all.

I love this widget more than life itself. Truly madly deeply. My contribution to the widget is displaying the time in a given timezone:

Code:

export TZ="Europe/London" date "+%H:%M"

Of course, I have a slightly more complex version of that in a worldtime script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -gt 1 ]
then DATEFORMAT="$2"
else DATEFORMAT="%H:%M"
fi

if [ $# -gt 2 ]
then TIMETOSHOW="-d \"$3\""
else TIMETOSHOW=""
fi

export TZ=$1
date "+$DATEFORMAT" $TIMETOSHOW

and then my widget command is:

Code:

echo "London: " `/usr/bin/worldtime Europe/London` " | Denver: " `/usr/bin/worldtime America/Denver`

I'd also suggest using

Code:

date +<formatcode>

is a preferable way of showing the date, rather than the date | awk script I saw earlier in this thread.

Also, word to the wise: avoid giving your widget a blank title. I did this as a don't-display-title hack. It worked, until I did two of them. Might be time to start again

.

Did I mention I love this widget?

I did that too, since if I want a title, I'll make the command output a title. And most of the times I don't want one (if it says "charging", I know it's about the battery, and I recognize an IP address without putting "IP:" in front of it).

Removing the title made the thing get really confused. Rebooting made all the widgets change command displayed (apparently to a random empty-titled command), and so did adding or changing widgets. And they traded places (on the home screens), so adding one could make it appear on another home screen with another command.

Put a checkbox "Show title" in there, maybe? Or leave it up to the command output?
