OK, it's been a while since I've been here, but I recently switched from SuSE to Fedora Core 2, and since I was too lazy to recompile MP3 support into XMMS (It's disabled by default in FC2), I decided to see if I could get XMMS-Infopipe to work with BeepMP. Since BeepMP is just a GTK2 fork of the original XMMS source, it worked pretty well. All I had to do was apply a patch to the infopipe source code and recompile. The patch can be found here:

http://www.beastwithin.org/users/wwwwolf/code/xmms/xmms-infopipe-1.3-for-beepmp.patch.gz

Just patch it, follow the instructions, and you'll have your SigX reporting from BeepMP instead of XMMS. You don't even need to modify your Perl script! Wink

set it up though your user, not as root.

after logging into your user, do 'crontab -e' and it should open it up for your user.

im very limited on my knowledge of linux.

If you were in debian, i'd tell you to do a apt-get install libwww, or if you are using the ports system of installing, you can do 'portinstall libwww'

This script works like a dream, the only think i would really like to have is for it to show the current upload & download speed of eth0.

Im running CentOS 4.2.

i would like it to say somthing along the lines of:

UL: 102kb/s | DL: 122kb/s

If this is possible and anyone could help it would be much appreshated.

TIA
Dave.

OK, I'm not new to Linux, but I haven't used Pearl under Ubuntu. I know Ubuntu is debian based and I really want to know how to install Sigx under ubuntu. Any help would be really appreciated.
