Re: [lcd4linux] Silly question...or is it?

I can do better than that... :) I can post a partly-done script showing 
what I mean...

-------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Network Status:
ping 192.168.0.1 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s1="ok" || s1="error"
ping 192.168.0.2 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s2="ok" || s2="error"
ping 192.168.0.3 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s3="ok" || s3="error"
ping 192.168.0.4 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s4="ok" || s4="error"
ping 192.168.0.5 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s5="ok" || s5="error"
ping 192.168.0.8 -w 5 -c 1 >/dev/null && s8="ok" || s8="error"

if [ "$s1" = "error" ]; then
  sys="Zuul offline"
elif [ "$s2" = "error" ]; then
  sys="Toadstool offline"
elif [ "$s3" = "error" ]; then
  sys="Bessie offline"
elif [ "$s4" = "error" ]; then
  sys="GayMer offline"
elif [ "$s8" = "error" ]; then
  sys="Mavus offline"
else
  sys="Ok"
fi
echo "Systems: $sys"

exit
-------------------------------------------------------

Yes, it's kludgy, but it works. :) I use a similar script to output more 
detailed into to /dev/tty11 on that box too.

Basically, I'd like lcd4linux to read the output of the script (in this 
case, the "Systems: Ok" message) and display it on the lcd panel.

Shouldn't be too difficult. :)
