conky calendar
I'm having a bit of a time with the calendar.sh script I found on the
Net; it doesn't display quite correctly.
It should have brackets around the current date, but I can't figure out
what is not functioning correctly:
#!/bin/sh
cal | awk 'NR2' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] / /g' -e 's/..*/
/' -e 's/ \('`date | awk '{print $2}'`'\) /\['`date | awk '{print $2}'`'\]/'
Change the NR2 to NR1 and the printout includes the days of the week:
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Since today is the 10th, we should be seeing [10] - but we are not.
Also, there is the problem of the 1,2,3 not showing in the right days -
in conky this can be fixed by not using xft... but then I'm not sure of
how to change the font size... perhaps the xorg screen size is the
default ???
I'm not very good at programming, but I did look up the man pages for
cal, sed and awk but it is a little complicated for my little brain.
Can anyone help, please?

Look at the output of the date command:
Sat Oct 10 15:12:39 CEST 2009
Change 'print $2' to 'print $3' to get the numercal date.
Or even simpler: use date +%d instead of date | awk '{print $3}'.

I could not get it to work until I changed the single quotes in the last -e
expression to double quotes. (This either interactively under csh or as a
script under sh). BTW, using `date +%s` and with an additional minor change to
make the numbers continue to line up ... Oh! This will not fix mis-alignments
on days when it is not the end of the week, I don't think ... anyway.
cal | awk 'NR1' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] / /g' -e 's/..*/ /' -e
s/\ `date +%d`/\[`date +%d`\]/
Gives
$ sh newcal.sh
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 [10]
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Now, if you had a space character at the end of each line, you could do
something like ...
cal | awk 'NR1' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] / /g' -e 's/..*/ /' -e
s/\ `date +%d`\ /\[`date +%d`\]/
And then it would replace (underscore is space) _8_ with [8] so it would
always line up. You can't do that without the space at the end of the line
because the trailing numbers look like this _17 not _17_. But, fix that,
and you can use the above. That is left as an exercise for the reader.

Re: conky calendar
You can use the terminal standout codes to highlight today's date, but you
need either the Linux compatibility stuff or a recent version of ncurses
installed:
#!/bin/ksh
PATH=/usr/compat/linux/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
DAY=$(date +%d | sed 's/0\([123456789]\)/ \1/')
SMSO=$(tput smso)
RMSO=$(tput rmso)
cal | sed -e 's/^/ /' -e 3,\$s/ ${DAY}/ ${SMSO}${DAY}${RMSO}/
exit 0
