Power Status (was Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.)

[Peter M. Brigham]

So can a couple of Unix users out there test this part out?

         if there is a file "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0" then
            put url "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0" into tStatus
         else if there is a file "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1" then
            put url "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1" into tStatus
         else
            return "AC"
            -- no battery, must be running off external power
         end if
         put word 1 of tStatus into tStatus
         if tStatus = empty then return empty
         return caseSwitch(tStatus,"discharging=Battery","charging,unknown,full=AC","*=*")
         -- if tStatus = empty, returns empty --
         --    Unix users please test: should this return some value??
         -- if tStatus is not in "discharging,charging,unknown,full" then
         --    just returns whatever "/sys/class/power_supply/BATx" reports
