Airport status

[Richard Miller]

Found this info:

------------------------------

" For those who are interested, I found a way to show airport signal 
strength (and other airport info). Download this airport CLI tool 
(http://www.macstumbler.com/airport.tar.gz) and find a place for it (I 
put mine in /usr/local/bin). After that, it's pretty easy. This is the 
script that I ended up using, it uses backslashes for a 10-bar display, 
then shows the percentage."

/usr/local/bin/airport | awk 'NR == 2 {for (a=10;a>0;a-=1) if ($1 / 10 
< a) printf("`"); else printf("\\"); print " " $1}'

------------------------------

Can sometime tell me how to convert and use this from Rev?

Thanks.
Richard
