• volume_status.py A simple pyhton script that prints the volume of alsa's master channel with a 'M' if muted.

    $ ./volume_status.py # unmuted
    100%
    $ ./volume_status.py # muted
    100% M
  

• battery_status.py Python script that battery and AC adapter info in a very naive way. Outputs battery percent and +/- to indicate charging/discharging respectively. Alternate power info dir, ac state file, or battery can be specified via flags

    $ ./battery_status.py # charging
    93.0 +
    $ ./battery_status.py # discharging
    93.3 -
  
    $ ./battery_status.py --help
    usage: battery_status.py [-h] [-v] [-d DIR] [-b BATTERY] [-a FILE]
                             [-p PREFIXES] [-n SUFFIX] [-f SUFFIX] [-s]
  
    Read battery information from BAT0/ (atempting to find correct files), print
    percent remaining and whether charging (+) or dishcharging(-)
  
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -v, --verbose         verbose mode
      -d DIR, --base_dir DIR
                            Alternative directory to find power information files.
      -b BATTERY, --battery BATTERY
                            Battery to display charge of. ie 'BAT0'.
      -a FILE, --ac_state_file FILE
                            File to get AC state. Unless a full path, will be
                            assumed relative to BASE_DIR.
      -p PREFIX(ES), --prefix PREFIX(ES)
                            battery status filename prefix. Thinkpads are
                            notorious for flip flopping between 'energy' and
                            'charge'.
      -n SUFFIX, --now_suffix SUFFIX
                            Current battery filename siffix. default: 'now'
      -f SUFFIX, --full_suffix SUFFIX
                            Full battery filename siffix. default: 'full'
      -s, --no_ac_status    Dont print the +/- indicating AC connection status
