Linux System Stats Script


Recommended Posts

You could make life easier for yourself and do something like this:

de="$(echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | sed 's/^./\U&/')"

That would assign the variable "de" with the desktop session value, with the first letter capitalized. ("Gnome", "Kde", "Xfce", etc).

If you wanted to be more advanced you could do something like this to save you having to update the script every time someone came out with a new DE (as long as the script handled the capitalization correctly):

GetDesktopEnvironmentVersion()
{
    case "${DESKTOP_SESSION}" in

        gnome)
            echo "$(gnome-session --version | awk {'print $2'})"
            return 0
            ;;

        kde)
            echo "$(kde-open -v | awk '/Platform/ {print $4}')"
            return 0
            ;;

    esac

    # Return 1 if the DE does not match a known DE we can get the version for.
    # This allows us to check the return code if we like.
    return 1
}

# Assume that any DE with a name shorter than 5 chars is an abbreviation. GNOME is an exception, since it should be capitalized still.
if [ ${#DESKTOP_SESSION} -le 4 ] || ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | grep -i "gnome" &> /dev/null; then
    de="$(echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | tr [:lower:] [:upper:])"
else
    de="$(echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | sed 's/^./\U&/')"
fi
de="${de} $(GetDesktopEnvironmentVersion)"

`echo $de` would result in the following:

  • "Cinnamon"
  • "GNOME 3.6.2"
  • "KDE 4.0.0"
  • "XFCE"
  • "Openbox
  • "Unity"
  • "MATE"

yeah some openbox sessions set the $DESKTOP_SESSION some dont

new version hopefully will pick up unity and cinnamon

http://www.haggistech.co.uk/stats-V0.8.1.tar.gz

work to go to now :(

GetDesktopEnvironmentVersion()
{
	case "${DESKTOP_SESSION}" in

		gnome)
			echo "$(gnome-session --version | awk {'print $2'})"
			return 0
			;;

		kde)
			echo "$(kde-open -v | awk '/Platform/ {print $4}')"
			return 0
			;;

	esac

	# Return 1 if the DE does not match a known DE we can get the version for.
	# This allows us to check the return code if we like.
	return 1
}

# Assume that any DE with a name shorter than 5 chars is an abbreviation. GNOME is an exception, since it should be capitalized still.
if [ ${#DESKTOP_SESSION} -le 4 ] || ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | grep -i "gnome" &> /dev/null; then
	de="$(echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | tr [:lower:] [:upper:])"
else
	de="$(echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | sed 's/^./\U&/')"
fi
de="${de} $(GetDesktopEnvironmentVersion)"

`echo $de` would result in the following:

  • "Cinnamon"
  • "GNOME 3.6.2"
  • "KDE 4.0.0"
  • "XFCE"
  • "Openbox
  • "Unity"
  • "MATE"

running your code i get this

not sure why though

I think I have discovered why checking $DESKTOP_SESSION works for some people but not others. It has nothing to do with Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Openbox, Mate, etc. It is reliant on your display manager. I am using Slim on my laptop, which doesn't set $DESKTOP_SESSION. I noticed that switching to LightDM or GDM and logging into Openbox actually sets the $DESKTOP_SESSION to openbox.

Summary: Detecting desktop environment based on $DESKTOP_SESSION is unreliable at best.

running your code i get this

not sure why though

Because I borked up my code >.<.
I missed an echo command, the if statement should have read: 
[code]
if [ ${#DESKTOP_SESSION} -le 4 ] || echo ${DESKTOP_SESSION} | grep -i "gnome" &> /dev/null; then

Doesn't really matter if DESKTOP_SESSION is unreliable though :(

I refactored stats 0.8.1 and developed a method to make desktop environment detection much more reliable. The new version is attached to this post, and the patch I created against 0.8.1 is below.

[b]PS:[/b] Attaching the patched version of the script in a zip file was not my choice. Apparently Neowin won't let me attach anything with the .tar.gz or .tar.lzma extension.

I screwed up. I created a Linux Mint 14 virtual machine on my more powerful machine and installed every desktop environment detected by my last patch for testing purposes. Although I tested the desktop environment dection aspect of the script fairly thoroughly, I didn't test the logos I added at all.

When I tested this script on my latop a few minutes ago, I discovered that the Debian logo didn't print correctly. Then I tested the other logos and discovered that some of them failed to print correctly too. Additionally, apparently the processor information in /proc/cpuinfo is not terribly similar between CPU architectures. It looks close to the same for most Intel and AMD CPUs, but it is completely different on the PowerPC and ARM CPUs that I tested. Therefore I wrote a new version of my previous patch that solves both of those issues.

The patch posted below was created against stats 0.8.1, not my previously patched version. The complete new version of the script is attached to this post.

cool i will have a look at this later

i really need to learn how to regex properly

i.e.


grep -E '([/][A-Za-z]+)*[/]{0,1}kdeinit')
[/CODE]

Regular expressions are [i]very[/i] useful. The one you quoted is checking for any string containing [i]kdeinit[/i] with an optional absolute path in front of it. Although regex is slightly different between the various tools/languages that implement it, it is mostly the same. My favourite regex reference page is here, but you should really read the grep man page for the specific implementation in grep.

[b]PS:[/b] You are welcome to use the patched script I posted above as-is. I assigned copyright to you.

Thanks

i will be adding credits type thing in for all the help you guys have given me while this makes its way to a public release

i am working on Top processes now

really enjoying doing this

I noticed a couple posts up that you are considering adding command line switches to control the script's behavior. A good way to accept switches in basically any order or combination in BASH can be done using a switch case like in the code snippet below.


# Parse the given arguments.
while [ $# -gt 1 ]; do
case $1 in
--noverify)
noverify=1
;;
--format)
format=1
;;
--verbose|-v)
verbose=1
;;
--help)
usage
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "Invalid Argument -- $1"
usage
exit 1
;;
esac
shift
done

# Get the action to take.
action="$1"
[ -z "$action" ] && action='default'

# Execute the function associated with that action.
eval $action
[/CODE]

If you don't want to use an eval system or have any required arguments, check that [i]$#[/i] is greater than 0 instead of 1 and don't use any of the code I posted after the loop exits. I hope that helps a little; I know I had trouble writing a good argument parser when I first started with BASH.

can get it here

disabled the logos until i can get it working right on 64bit

you can enable them by removing the # next to print_logo lol

Not touched this for a wee while, not really touched anything computer related actually for a while lol

 

will get back into it tonight though

 

anyone still using it?

I know there are a lot of scripts out there to do this sort of thing on Linux, but I wanted to support another Neowin member so I have been using it. If you look at the screenshots I posted in this thread a couple days ago, you might notice that I used your script in the second one. Keep up the great work!
 

P.S. Haggis, if you get the point where you are very comfortable with the stability and features of your script, I am willing to contribute Debian packaging so you can provide .deb files for Debian and Ubuntu. This is an open offer. Don't hesitate to ask me, even if you don't reach that point for months.

Still using it but having to modify it a bit for Linux Mint 15.

 

The 'screenfetch' on Mint's forums lacks in appearances so I much prefer yours.

what are you having to modify?

 

Detection for Cinnamon (Commented out DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT line before the if..elseif)

Changed from ID to DISTRIB_ID to pick up Mint rather than Ubuntu

Some colour formatting for the mint logo

Changed import to gnome-screenshot as import doesn't handle transparency in Cinnamon and isn't a default package in Ubuntu/Mint

Awesome

 

I fixed the "No LSB Modules are available"

 

I had to install standard unix tools then run it via "bash stats.sh" to fix that as it defaults to dash for sh on Ubuntu.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Fixed Windows 10 taskbar and Start menu crashes on builds 26220.8474 (Beta) and 26300.8493 (Experimental). Update ExplorerPatcher as soon as possible. Without this update, Explorer and the Windows 10 Start menu may stop working on future builds. Microsoft removed Windows 10 Start menu components from StartTileData.dll on these builds, so the Windows 10 Start menu option has been removed where it is no longer supported. Temporary workaround: replace C:\Windows\System32\StartTileData.dll with the version from build 26xxx.8457 (x64/ARM64). This may stop working in future builds. Work is ongoing to restore Windows 10 Start menu support. Highlights Fixed Windows 10 battery flyout crashes on build 25951+. Network flyout buttons reverted to pre-24H2 behavior as a side effect. Taskbar location changes now apply instantly. Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide is no longer modified when Explorer starts. "Open Start in All apps by default" is now hidden when using the new Windows 11 Start menu. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on builds 21996–22000.51. Fixed Regedit crashes when switching to thumbnail view in registry import/export dialogs. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, including 26H1 ARM64. Improved ARM64 performance. Added Greek translations. ep_taskbar Now supports all 43 Windows 11 languages. Fixed issues in the system tray and other components. Updated DLL naming scheme for mod developers. Improved TrayUI compatibility and vtable stability on builds with multiple ITrayUI revisions. Fixed a taskbar initialization deadlock. Windows 10 Start Menu Added a new tile layout engine to restore support removed in build 26xxx.8474. Restoration is currently partial: Tiles may overlap when pinned using "Pin to Start". Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or explorer.exe fixes the layout. Further improvements are planned. Other Changes Added an executable blacklist to prevent shell extensions from loading in selected applications. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for ARM64 builds 28xxx.2149+.

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat by Sayan Sen This week Microsoft released the Patch Tuesday updates for June 2026 with KB5094126 on Windows 11 25H2, 24H2, and KB5093998 on Windows 11 23H2. On Windows 10 22H2 it's under KB5094127. Alongside the announced release notes for the new builds, Microsoft has revealed another change that is coming to Windows with these new releases. It has been confirmed that custom folders are getting a significant change with the June 2026 updates as such folders or folder names defined by desktop.ini will no longer appear after this update is successfully installed. While you may inititally think this is a bug with the new release, Microsoft has stated that this is in fact "expected behaviour" in its new support article regarding this which Neowin spotted today while browsing. Essentially it's a security hardening measure such that custom folder presentations are treated as potentially unsafe whenever Windows is not sure about their origin and whether that desktop.ini folder can be trusted or not. Here is list of such untrusted files and folders: Files downloaded from the internet that carry Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW). Files copied from certain remote locations, such as some WebDAV or HTTP-based locations. Files on network paths that are not classified as intranet or trusted by zone policy. For those who may not be familiar, Desktop.ini is a special configuration file used by Windows to customize the appearance and behavior of individual folders. Basically Windows can read specific instructions stored in Desktop.ini instead of displaying every folder with the same default settings. This can be used to apply custom icons, thumbnail images, localized folder names, and such informational tooltips (infotip). The file can also influence certain folder-specific behaviors and properties. It is typically stored as a hidden system file within a folder that has been designated to support Desktop.ini customization. However, because Windows Shell automatically reads and applies these attributes whenever a customized folder is opened, they have historically (since the Windows XP days) presented an attack surface as a result of an unchecked buffer in the Shell component responsible for extracting custom attributes from Desktop.ini files. As such an attacker could create a specially crafted Desktop.ini containing a malicious or corrupted attributes and place it on a network share. So if a user were to browse that folder, Windows would automatically process the file, potentially triggering a buffer overflow. This could allow arbitrary code to run with the same permissions as the logged-in user. Hence a seemingly harmless folder could become a security risk when their contents are not properly validated. For admins and users alike looking to manage this behaviour, Microsoft has shared a few ways. One of them is to assign a trusted mark on the folder in case you are sure of its source. Secondly a policy can be used to revert back to the previous state. Finally, the MOTW can be removed too to indicate to Windows that this is a safe file. The company explains: Option 1: Add the source to Trusted Sites (Recommended) If the affected content is stored on a known internal or managed source, add that source to the Trusted Sites list. Once the source is treated as trusted, Windows processes desktop.ini from that source normally. This keeps the protection in place for other locations and is the lower-risk option. Option 2: Use policy to restore previous behavior Organizations that need broader compatibility can enable the policy Allow the use of remote paths in file shortcut icons.Enabling this policy restores the pre-June 2026 behavior for affected remote or untrusted scenarios. Option 3: Check for and remove the Mark of the Web (MotW) If the desktop.ini file has a Mark of the Web (MotW), Windows may treat it as coming from an untrusted source and block customization. Verify whether MotW is present and, if appropriate, remove it from the desktop.ini file. This can restore expected behavior, but should only be done for trusted content, as it removes the associated security protection. To remove the MotW tag, open PowerShell and run one of the following commands: For a single desktop.ini file: Unblock-File "C:\Your\Folder\Path\desktop.ini" For all desktop.ini files in a folder: Get-ChildItem "C:\Your\Folder\Path" -Recurse -Filter desktop.ini -Force | Unblock-File Microsoft has warned though against using a broad opt-out using the provided policy as it reduces protection against potentially malicious remote folder-customization content. As such the tech giant recommends trusting only controlled internal sources and keeping trust settings as strict as possible.
