Note the period as a wildcard in the end.
Regex slows the script down a lot, i'd rather stay away from it.

Its not as if the script is mission critical when it comes to speed. The speed difference would probably be a fraction of a second and barely noticeable by a human

Since you want to match a string which isn't always the same, you'll either need to use a regex (or something which is at least as computationally complex as a regex) or you'll need to hardcode every possible value of the string. In view of portability, readability and extendibility of your script, I suggest the first option

0.1.6 released (can be found in AUR)

xmonad bug fixed
cleanup in CPU function

If you still run into problems with xmonad, please post the error here. Although, I'm pretty confident that it is fixed.

pekwm support doesn't work. It just shows WM: None found.
Any idea where the problem could be??

I wrote a patch to check for the shell used

Can you tell me the actual process name of PekWM?

run; ps -A | grep pekwm

Thanks a lot! I'll incorporate it into Archey 1.7.

melik · 2010-01-16 01:19:35

I just tested for PekWM, it seems to work fine

Edit: Archey 1.7 uploaded to AUR

- Support for reporting shell

This is a nice package, great work! I'll be using it my screenshots. I tried to find one of the scripts in the thread you mentioned a while ago, but that thread is really hard to do anything with, so thanks again!

Please don't get into political discussions/arguments on the forums, that's part of the guidelines

$ ps -A | grep pekwm
14894 tty1      00:00:07 pekwm

It still doesn't work. With the archinfo skript that can also be found in the aur it works fine.

I have pulled in some code from 'bluepeppers'.

Archey uses ps -u instead of ps -A now, try giving the latest release a shot.

Also archey 0.1.9 depends on imagemagick for screenshoting instead of scrot.

losl · 2010-01-18 23:31:02

Great little tool. Could you add the screenshot utility as a dependency in AUR maybe? The error is sort of cryptic when you don't have scrot installed.

I modified it a little bit to put out a plain text version of the information, so you can make pretty sshd motd banners with the Archey logo, the changes are here: http://pastebin.com/m6814fb02

Just add a cronjob:

0 * * * archey > /etc/motd

The output of archey will be outputted to /etc/motd every hour.

Archey doesn't use scrot anymore, it has been moved to imagemagick. I'd rather have imagmagick as an optional dependency. I don't want to force people to install too many dependencies.

I have that The problem is that the sshd banner doesn't parse (?) escape characters. What I posted is a modification that displays archey with no escape characters.

When trying to makepkg it I get this:

I am new to using the AUR but I am reading multiple pages of the wiki and I am pretty sure I've done everything they said. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey Daphron,

Abs is for arch official packages.
For AUR, you can use any of these scripts: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers

Although I suggest Xyne's bauerbill found on the forums.

Alternatively, you can also do:

mkdir archey
cd archey
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey/archey/PKGBUILD
makepkg -i

Thanks for pointing me to bauerbill, but it still near the same error. ( I tried out a couple of other things from the aur using bauerbill and they work fine, so I doubt it is me installing it incorrectly)
