I'm trying to do something very simple:
[ Thu 2008-11-13 12:56 (US) || Thu 2008-11-13 19:56 (UK) ]
I'm just trying to display two timezones at the same time in the statusbar.
Since 'date' is already included in the statusbar by default, I am trying to do
this without writing a new script.
I have tried two things:
First, I:
cp /usr/local/lib/ion3/lc/statusd_date.lc
/usr/local/lib/ion3/lc/statusd_ukdate.lc
and then uncommented, and changed the /usr/local/etc/ion3/cfg_statusbar.lua
template line to:
template="[ %date || %ukdate || load: %05load_1min || mail:
%02mail_new/%02mail_total ] %filler%systray",
But the statusbar just has a "??" in it for "%ukdate", even though that script
exists.
ALSO, I am not sure how I would edit statusd_ukdate.lc to have a +7 hours in
its 'date' command, since the .lc file is not text, but just binary data.
So that attempt did not work well - was I close ? Is there any way to just
copy and quickly edit the _existing_ date script and stick it into my
systemwide template ?
My second attempt was to just change the default date_format line in
cfg_statusbar.lua to output multiple dates:
date_format='%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M (US) || %a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M (UK)
This ^^^ DOES work, but I do not see how to modify the:
%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M
to add a +7 offset to %H ...
---
which of these two strategies should I continue to pursue ? Again, I don't
want to write new scripts since the date script is _already_ written and I just
want to reuse it ...
Thanks.
