#Geektool desktops code
Open it up on your Mac and setup your geeklet, including the text, position, colour settings, and code for your displayed data.Įcho "Self Help: echo "Email IT Request: " "Įcho "Computer Name: " `scutil -get ComputerName `Įcho "IP Address: " `ifconfig en0 | grep "inet" | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | grep -v inet6 | awk ''`.Here's a brief guide on the process I used, which works for me in my basic environment but probably not the ideal way todo it. I have just finished doing this for our Mac's. We have signs w the printer problems icon over the printers. :) We have signs in the labs that show the "Report Computer Problem" icon really large so they actually use it most of the time.
I linked to a screenshot of what my shortcuts look like. The form indicates where to find the computer name and the results of the form go to the ticket system. How I have mine set up is with some desktop shortcuts that go straight to a web form to report problems. It seems useful for refreshing the widgets on command or with a Casper policy instead of just plugging in a refresh time in the actual GeekTool - You mentioned wanting a URL to the ticket system. The latest version of GeekTool allows you to use AppleScript to control it, which I've only just started playing with. I'm working on improving the system I use for status messages, but the computer name works well. I use GeekTool to print the computer name and any statuses messages I throw in a text file.
