 |
|
I would like torsmo to display what my volume is currently set to...
Any idea on how to do this?
I am using aumix to change my volume levels using my laptops volume buttons... but I have alsamixer as well...
Thanks!

I use this to get the volume with aumix into a script to show it into a FvwmButtons (I use Fvwm):
| Code: |
aumix -vq | sed -e 's/, P//'
|
I suggest you to do that into the command line, to see if the output is the desired one. That should work ok for master volume, if you want pcm volume then the sed string might be a bit different. Then integrate it into your torsmo config. I think that torsmo can manage bash scripts, cant it? But it has been so long since I last used it, so cant help you with that. |

ok, so I get:
| Code: | aumix -vq | sed -e 's/, P//'
vol 70, 70 |
Or
| Quote: | aumix -wq | sed -e 's/, P//'
pcm 20, 20 |
because I use the pcm...
I never use sed so I don't know what to do with that... but the sed doesn't seam to do anything different to the command line output... I assume the sed is to format the output, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything...
I can run the script from torsmo and it works  but I get I would rather just 70 etc...
Thanks! |

Ooops, sorry. FvwmScript has a function to take an arbitrary field of the output, so I just removed the tailing ", P" of the end and took that. To do the whole thing with sed try this one:
| Code: |
aumix -vq | sed -e 's/, P//' -e 's/vol \([0-9]*\)*, //'
|
Scary, I know, as all sed ifself. Hope this one works. |

Thanks for the reply, But I found another solution:
| Code: | | aumix -wq | awk '{ print $3}' |

Ahhh! Some day I will have to learn a bit about awk, sed is really something bad to know about.  |
