To facilitate syncing across devices, I've created a local bash script to monitor the ~/Downloads folder to move them to my ~/Dropbox/Apps/Quine/TiddlyWiki/ folder. Once there, the Dropbox service automatically uploads the current version. Right now this script launches other scripts (DBstatus.sh, wikiXFER.sh) then tails a file where child scripts log their actions. Below shows the the console output, which is tailing the status file.
$ ~/status.sh TimeStamp SYSTEM SCRIPT STATUS Wed Jun 26 17:22:44 PDT 2019 Dropbox DBstatus.sh started Wed Jun 26 17:22:44 PDT 2019 TiddlyWiki wikiXFER.sh started Wed Jun 26 17:22:44 PDT 2019 TiddlyWiki wikiXFER.sh Watching Wed Jun 26 17:22:44 PDT 2019 Dropbox DBstatus.sh Up to date Wed Jun 26 17:23:05 PDT 2019 TiddlyWiki wikiXFER.sh Found Wed Jun 26 17:23:05 PDT 2019 TiddlyWiki wikiXFER.sh Moved Wed Jun 26 17:23:05 PDT 2019 TiddlyWiki wikiXFER.sh Watching Wed Jun 26 17:23:05 PDT 2019 Dropbox DBstatus.sh Syncing "TiddlyWiki.html" Wed Jun 26 17:23:05 PDT 2019 Dropbox DBstatus.sh Uploading "TiddlyWiki.html"... Wed Jun 26 17:23:10 PDT 2019 Dropbox DBstatus.sh Up to date I'm trying to find a way to show this status within TW so I can make this script a service and still have a seamless way to monitor the results. *Is there a way to basically tail -f a local file in tw5? *Ideally, I'd like to integrate into the top margin of tw, so that updates are displayed as they are logged in the local file. I'm using Firefox Quantum for Fedora 67.0.4 (64-bit). Any ideas? This isn't an issue on my Win machines since I'm using TiddlyDesktop. *I've tried:* - Gnome no longer supports building custom tray indicators/icons (with any semblance of ease). - notify-send works, except it instantiates a new alert with every invocation, which is terribly annoying in rapid succession. - Looked into https://tobibeer.github.io/tw/enable-js/#script, but this puts JS into the tiddler... I'd have to open/refresh the tiddler to see the status, which is less convenient than running the bash script Any suggestions are welcome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
