if [ $(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity) -lt 10 ] then play sound fi For those which use Emacs as their text desktop environment, there is M-x battery RET which will display battery status in the echo area and M-x display-battery-mode RET which will display battery status in the mode-line. I sometimes also use "acpi -bat" on the command line to check the temperature and how long I will be able to continue working on battery. P.S.: It appears the same things are coming up over and over again for those of us who do not run a graphical desktop. Screen curtain and battery status come to mind. Maybe it is time to actually write a tool which somehow collects these small tasks into something that somehow just works. I would love to have something like apt install text-mode-junkie It would make it easy to turn down keyboard and display backlight, play a sound when battery is low and maybe offer current weather based on the current IP address. Basically what GNOME 2 used to offer as applets. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
