OS X is a certified Unix, so as far as bash is concerned what works
there will work on most Unix systems.
In general terms (read, "for programs other than LC") Mark spot-on with
the "<class><colon><slash><slash><URI>" convention. But as in so many
other areas, LiveCode seems a little different.
For file access on Linux (and Mac and Windows) I always use simply
"file:/path/to/somefile" and it works well.
Back to the original power status question, oddly enough the file I/O
routines LC uses don't seem to allow me to use the same URL syntax we
use for files.
This works, though:
put shell("cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status")
