Screenshot script. works from osso-statusbar-cpu. requires osso-screenshot-tool be installed and one parameter. parameter indicates time to delay before taking screenshot. can be 0 (zero, but not less).

#!/bin/bash
sleep $1

stamp=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`
i=1
path=/home/user/MyDocs/.images
if mount | grep -q mmc
then
path=/media/mmc1
fi

while [ -f $path/shot-$stamp-`printf %02d $i`.png ]
do
i=$((i+1))
done
osso-screenshot-tool $path/shot-$stamp-`printf %02d $i`.png
flite "Screenshot complete"

- nice! i like your iptalk.sh better! i'm going to save this one!

- how about:

#!/bin/sh
#
# monitor interface traffic
#
watch "/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep -ve 'BROADCAST' -e 'Link' -e 'packets' -e 'collisions'"

- just love tinkering w/my n800! it's gets so bad the wife unit sometimes does a lopsided smirk, then does a 'wall' and sends:

Repost of the script I put up in the "Text2Speech" thread:http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...7&postcount=16

Description: Reads whatever is in the cut buffer, out loud.
Depends: osso-statusbar-cpu (to launch it), xclip (attached to the post I linked), libxmu6
the script:
#!/bin/sh

DISPLAY=:0 flite "$(xclip -o)"

You need /usr/bin/memstat.

Unlike ps, memstat lists all the shared objects (shared libraries and executables) that are in memory, and which processes are using those shared objects.

Getting the complete memory usage of a process (included shared memory used also by other process):

Nokia-N800-50-2:/home/user# ./mmem.sh hildon-input-method
27280k
Nokia-N800-50-2:/home/user# ./mmem.sh osso-xterm
4996k

I've got some scripts for controlling mpd with the device in my pocket (via powerlaunch). And another script, that I can't post now.

And, used by all of these, the 'say' script. It's just a wrapper around flite, sox, and esdcat. It plays out of only one channel, and at variable pitch/speed and volume. Usage below.

I put all these scripts in /home/user/apps, so the absolute pathnames may need edited... but if you're looking here, you probably can handle that.

• rate is the playback sample rate. 8000 plays the voice as it comes from flite. Lower numbers give a lower pitch, and take longer; higher values give a higher, faster, more robotic-chipmunk-sounding result.
• vol is the volume scale factor. 1 gives same as flite, beyond 10 only increases distortion without boosting volume substantially. Values from 1 - 5 are helpful; after 5 the distortion starts getting annoying.
• text is just the text to speak. Since we're practicing script fu, that's usually a backquoted pipeline.

Dependencies:

• flite is in some repo, extras I think? Installs from Package Manager.
• sox is in some repo -- Gronmayer.com it if you need to. I think it was a Bora repo, and I think you need to redpill or apt-get install it manually.
• esdcat was by far the hardest bit to find. Sid Lenny armel to the rescue -- I installed both esound-clients and esound-common, then copied /etc/esd.conf (original OS2008 file) over /etc/esound/esd/conf (new file from esound-common package). It might work by simply forcing a dependency override, but IMHO better not to go that way... Anyway, when you're done, you should have esdplay and esdcat, which should have been available out-of-box, I would think.

Those are all attached. Here's a lame one, for VNC over SSH. This one's small enough to in-line:
And finally, a one-liner for launching/unminimizing xmms. Just put this line directly into osso-statusbar-cpu.
Edit: I should mention that the mpc* scripts use nc (aka netcat), which is to be found in the repos as well.

I made a version of that which fixes text with \uXXXX escapes (replaces a couple it knows about, and discards others) instead of reading them "backslash u two thousand fourteen". Handy for reading stuff from some websites. It also uses my 'say' wrapper, but could easily be reverted to use sed if you don't have and aren't willing to get sox, esdcat. (I'm posting again with it, since this won't permit more than 5 attachments...)

I get "watch not found" when I try to run

You need zenity (available from Extras - apt-get install zenity) & s/rootsh/sudo/ if your preferred weapon of choice to become root is sudser.
