Is there a command-line plugin?

Post by fraktal »

Maybe this should be in the requests board, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't already exist! Basically, is there a plugin to take data from the command-line? So, for example, if you wanted some information from ipconfig or ping.

In case anyone's interested, it's because I'm trying to get some dallas 1-wire temperature sensors to work through this program http://martybugs.net/electronics/tempse ... tware2.cgi.

Ta!

Could you not PIPE info from the command line prog straight to a text file, then use LCDSmartie to read the text file (well, last line, so LOG file).

Aha, yes:
Well, for anyone else who's suffering the same problem, you can work around it by finding some way of automating the running of the program and piping the output to a text file (it's as simple as "ping [parameters] >> ping.txt") and then using the $File command to show it.
from a thread I created in the "plugin requests" board. Sorry, I forgot about this one. Thanks for replying though!
