Bash script issue - not displaying onscreen [SOLVED]

[Logansfury]

Update time in place and seems to be functioning fine. It's on an execi 60 just like the speed query and time is changing between a fraction of a second or 1 second after the sound alert.

Hey Koentje,

Not too infrequently, the speed.tmp is getting double readings (lag maybe?)

tmp file starts looking like this:




and this happens to the widget:




Can you suggest a fix to ignore the one of the sets of duped values?

[Koentje]

Post your bash script, or i have no clue on how to help you!


I checked my account on the provider and i should have way more transferrspeeds than i get now so i filed a complain. Maybe my modem needs to be replaced?
Account says 750mbit down and 60mbit up, but i get 75mbit down and 20mbit up.

I have had to get a lot of modems replaced over the years, and I have a tech coming over this evening to deduce why my current modem has no light activity.

Here come the scripts!

I wouldn't do this

Code: Select all

        speedtest-cli > ./speed.tmp
        speedtest-cli --bytes >> ./speed.tmp

but instead do this

Code: Select all

        speedtest-cli > ./speed-bits.tmp
        speedtest-cli --bytes > ./speed-bytes.tmp

And then read from those files seperate!

Right on, I can perform that edit. I am getting the positioning and size squared away on my laptop, then I will convert both the PC and Laptop scripts to dual log

And don't forget, they have both single >'s !

That's to ensure the new data overwrites the old so the file doesnt grow large over time?

Yup!
