Temp script to minus value to display in conky?
 
Hello,

I have an K10 AMD CPU and unfortunately it has a borked temp sensor. I have figured out that if I subtract 8 from value stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature that the result is very close to being spot on. The problem is I have no idea to do this and conky has no built in way to do this.

The data stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature looks like this:

Code:
temperature:            52 C
Is there some sort of script that can do this?

Thanks in advance!

You could use the exec command to run a bash script to do it for you man

And by the way, I would definitely whip up a quick script for you, but I'm at work, and the military computers run f*cking windows >:O

I know that.

The problem is the script?

LOL.

I hear that!

And dude, I am so not relying on google to create a script. I can't even ssh into my god damn server, because they realized what I was doing for the past 5 years, and decided to put an end to that.... You in the military too? Or you just saying you hear that cause im bitching about windows? LOL

The whole windows bit....

I feel bad for anyone that "has" to use it! LOL

Thanks for your sympathy! :D

corp769 01-18-2011 06:50 PM
But anyway, i'm gonna give this a shot... Can you post the contents of the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature file?

Thats all there is, of course it changes.

Ok, I got this that will extract the value, how do I get it to subtract 8 from the value to post the result to conky?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}" /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature

corp769 01-18-2011 08:04 PM
alright, well i've been working on my some-what own, between google, my experience, and hope...... lmao....

Code:
#!/bin/bash
temp1=sed -n 's/temperature:[[:space:]]*//p' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature | tr -d [:cntrl:][:space:] | cut -c1-2
echo $temp1
echo $((temp1-8))
run that just to test, and pray... LOL

corbintechboy 01-18-2011 08:11 PM
Gives an error:

Code:
[ron@iggy scripts]$ sh temps
sed -n 's/temperature:[[:space:]]*//p' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature | tr -d [:cntrl:][:space:] | cut -c1-2
temps: line 4: sed -n 's/temperature:[[:space:]]*//p' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature | tr -d [:cntrl:][:space:] | cut -c1-2: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "'s/temperature:[[:space:]]*//p' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature | tr -d [:cntrl:][:space:] | cut -c1-2")

corp769 01-18-2011 08:19 PM
For the hell of it, try yours and see what works:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
temp1=grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}" /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature
echo $temp1
echo $((temp1-8))

corbintechboy 01-18-2011 08:25 PM
Still giving an error. Strange thing is my command actually gives the result outside the script.

in script:

Code:
sh temps
grep -oE [[:digit:]]{1,} /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature
temps: line 4: grep -oE [[:digit:]]{1,} /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "[[:digit:]]{1,} /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature")
And in term:

Code:
[ron@iggy scripts]$ grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}" /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature
51

corbintechboy 01-18-2011 08:26 PM
Yours works right outside of script as well:

Code:
[ron@iggy scripts]$ sed -n 's/temperature:[[:space:]]*//p' /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature | tr -d [:cntrl:][:space:] | cut -c1-2
52
