weather from shell

weather from shell

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi.  I know this was discussed before however I can't find it in the
archives by searching for the subject keyword "weather".

How can I find weather tempratures and forcasts from the shell?  Is
there a text program I can install or is there a service I can telnet
into to find out/

Thanks.

Here is a script I use. I call it 'wxw'.
#!/bin/bash
lynx http://braille.wunderground.com/

I guess I might as well have made it an alias instead of a
script.

Re: weather from shell

I have a better idea.  How about this:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -lt "1" -o "$#" -gt "2" ] ;then
	echo "Usage: wxw zip or wxw cityname."
	echo "Example: wxw 66212 or wxw Overland Park"
	exit 1
fi

if [ "$#" -eq "1" ] ;then
	QUERY="$1"
else
	QUERY="$1+^[A$2"
fi

lynx
"http://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=$QUERY"

With Slackware, the games has an expect script called 'weather' it in turn
telnets to rainmaker.wunderground.com port 3000.  Be to have expect
installed from the tcl series or this script won't run.

You can just use the regular telnet port for rainmaker.wunderground.com. 
 From the shell type telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com.

I should also note the web version:

	http://braille.wunderground.com

The web version is particularly valuable because it provides some 
international data--though I, myself, would like more! <grin>

Cool. No nav bar on the text version of this site. I love it.

The international page seems to have no more data that braille.wunderground.com. But, wait ...

Oopps, though. It seems we have a new word on this page:

precipiation 

Do you suppose they actually mean precipitation? <grin>

Jim, can you forward to whoever needs to see it??

You no longer need the port specification. It now works without the port 
number.

audiogalaxy

[randy turner]

hi all,
i was running the audiogalaxy for linux until a few months ago
can someone who is running it under linux
tell me if it still works under linux?
i downloaded the latest version of it
built the account.txt file and the shares.txt file
but it deletes the account file and tells me invalid	account
i am able to log on to the web site ok
with my user name and password
so that proves that i am still active with them.
thanks in advance
randy

Re: audiogalaxy

Yeap, still works like a charm for me. Never had the problem you mentioned.

Re: audiogalaxy

[Darcy Burnard]

Hi Randy.  Yes, for some reason, audiogalaxy does this, but it does still
work.  According to the web site, you've now got to put the ip address and
port number for the audiogalaxy server on the command line.  However, even
when you do this, often it will still say invalid account and delete your
account.txt file.  But if you're persistant, it will eventually work.  You
might want to backup that file, and put something like the following in to
a script.
rm logv520.txt
cp .account.bak account.txt
./AGSatellite 64.245.58.81 21 &

Note that I put the command to delete the log file in there because it
does get rather large after a while.

Re: weather from shell

[Steve Holmes]

I just used it tonight.  Though I recall opening up a telnet session
manually to the same site, forgetting the port number and got same
results.  So I'm not sure what port 3000 does that isn't readily available
to normal telnet users.

I think the port address had meaning once. This site has provided this 
weather service for well over a decade.

Re: weather from shell

[Gregory Nowak]

I just tried telneting to rainmaker.wunderground.com on the standard telnet port, and it doesn't work. What I mean is that I could get in unlike before, but whenever I enter a city code, ask for a list of valid city codes, or ask for a valid list of state codes, it says something like network is down. This was yesterday, and today the telnet session simply times out. However, the web interface works grate.

Don't know if it's the smae for the Linux client, but under ineblows it
could take several attempts to get signed in, because the server seemed to
be very loaded.  Once I'd actually done this once, and the account was set
up in the client, all seemed to go fine and I could get in no problem.

Cheers.

I created my account.txt according to their instructions. Specifically, it has just the username and password on separate lines, and the satellite works just fine.
