Yeah fixing that is on my todo list. Perhaps a third color for 'fully charged'.

jemimah, That would do it. Then if the user doesn't see that color then they know something is up. Between that and the dialog box popup's, IMHO, we should be good to go. FWIW, I'm using this on my tray instead of asapm just because of the popup's alone.

Best Regards

I've posted a new version that uses the charging color for fully charged batteries instead of the discharging color.

Jemimah, That's perfect. Thank you so much. FWIW, I also tested the dialog box's and they also worked quite nicely on my notebook. Hey, If your ever coming to Cleveland, let me know. I'll take you out for some good local chow..


All the Best

Using this on a heavily re-mastered 4.3.1. Very very nice thanks. I have been hoping for a replacement for asapm for sometime as it is so darn ugly. Thanks a million.............

I've added a pet for Trayclock. It's an analog clock for the systray by the same developer as Vattery, and it matches nicely.

I'm using this on 4.31 retro. I had a mystery shutoff the other day and had to reinstall Puppy, very bad thing. It actually left my laptop in a questionable condition (!). First thing I did upon gettitng everything working was start looking for a battery gauge. Vattery has already warned me twice since then, adverting catastrophe - not that I'm sloppy or anything.

Thanks heaps for this. It should be built into the OS. I'm glad I'm new enough to Puppy, cause I would have been pissed without it!

Glad to help.

I'm working on a cpu temperature monitor based on Vattery code... maybe a whole suite of tray monitors is in the works. The source code is on my website if anyone wants to play with it.

I've uploaded a new version of Vattery and also a new applet TrayTemp for monitoring your CPU temperature.

There's two mirrors now for sources, http://drop.io/jemimah, and http://puppeee.com/files/sources/. If you have trouble getting them to build, let me know - Valac doesn't really like Puppy's version of gtk.

stupid script that I wrote:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
BATREMAIN=`grep remaining /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state |cut -d " " -f8`
BATFULL=`grep last /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info |cut -d " " -f9`
BATPERCENT=$((100*$BATREMAIN/$BATFULL))
BATSTATE=`grep charging /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state |cut -d " " -f12`
echo mAh remaining $BATREMAIN
echo mAh capacity $BATFULL
echo percent charged $BATPERCENT
echo the battery is $BATSTATE


Similar things can be done with /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/* ... this can be a template - just grep for a line with unique string and cut out the string you need from that line (using spaces as the separator or "delimiter")

and for temperature
Code:
CPU0TEMP=`grep temperature /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature |cut -d " " -f14`
echo CPU Temperature is $CPU0TEMP


Edit:
Not being sure how things may change it may be best to add
sed "s/: */ /" before cut so that the number of spaces for formatting doesn't change the result

I cleaned it up some... may be able to use pieces in a script with your gtrayicon now

Code:
#!/bin/ash
getprocinfo() {
#/proc/file string_number_in_line string_always_in_line_but_not_others
   grep $3 $1 |sed "s/: */ /" |cut -d " " -f $2
}
BATREMAIN=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 3 remaining`
BATFULL=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info 4 last`
echo mAh remaining $BATREMAIN
echo mAh capacity $BATFULL
BATPERCENT=$((100*$BATREMAIN/$BATFULL))
BATSTATE=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 3 charging`
echo percent charged $BATPERCENT
echo the battery is $BATSTATE
CPU0TEMP=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00/temperature 2 temp`
echo CPU Temperature is $CPU0TEMP C
LIDSTATUS=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state 2 state`
echo Lid is $LIDSTATUS
PLUGSTATUS=`getprocinfo /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state 2 state`
echo AC adapter is $PLUGSTATUS
KERNVER=`getprocinfo /proc/version 3 Linux`
echo Your Kernel is version $KERNVER
UPTIMESECS=`getprocinfo /proc/uptime 1 "."`
echo Your computer has been running for $UPTIMESECS seconds
IDLETIMESECS=`getprocinfo /proc/uptime 2 "."`
echo Your computer has been idle for $IDLETIMESECS seconds
MEMTOT=`getprocinfo /proc/meminfo 2 MemTotal`
echo Total RAM is $MEMTOT kb
MEMFREE=`getprocinfo /proc/meminfo 2 MemFree`
echo Total free RAM is $MEMFREE kb
SWPTOT=`getprocinfo /proc/meminfo 2 SwapTotal`
echo Total Swap is $SWPTOT kb
SWPFREE=`getprocinfo /proc/meminfo 2 SwapFree`
echo Total free Swap is $SWPFREE kb
[/code]

How would you use gtrayicon? It has only two states. Battery full, and battery empty? I supposes you could change the graphics out from underneath it, but it would be a hack, on top of an already quick and dirty kludge. What we should probably do is extend gtrayicon to do this sort of thing properly.

You could use that logic in Vattery, instead of using IBAM, but IBAM gives you a time left estimate, which is rather nice. In fact, I don't know why you wouldn't want to use IBAM in whatever solution you pick, it's not very big.

The only drawback is that it doesn't work on the Eee 701 (and maybe the 900) since their battery doesn't report its status correctly.

Well there is one other drawback, IBAM needs to be "trained." Initial results are really erratic until IBAM gets it's database configured.
