Simple Battery Monitor script

[Paulo]

Hi all

Been using TC for about 2 weeks now and in that time not only have I learnt quite a bit about Linux
but also received lots of help from various forum members so now it's time to give something back.
I have written a simple five line script to monitor the battery level on a laptop which is now a permanent "feature" of my TC computer and hope it's of some use to others.

Hi,

Am new to Linux and TC as well. Want to install this Battery Monitor script. When I try to run the .sh file from command prompt, I get the error:

./battmon.sh: line 27: bc: not found
./battmon.sh: line 28: bc: not found

I don't  know if am trying to install it the correct way. Here is how I run the battmon.sh file:

1. cd Desktop
2. chmod +x battmon.sh
3. sh ./battmon.sh

Please help. Thank you!

Hi pacchiee
You need to install  bc-1.06.94.tcz

Thank you Rich, for the quick help..

Installed bc-1.06.94.tcz and now battmon.sh runs and gives the battery status in command prompt. Nice tool.

However, meanwhile I found 'flit' and installed it. Works fine for me as I always can see a battery monitor on my desktop.

Thanks again!
