Battery, wifi state (widgets) on other window managers (fvwm)

1

I’ve moved to fvwm as window manager and looking to put some of the widget stuff, battery and wifi mainly, into RightPanel in the default fvwm2 config.

I know battery info is up in /proc somewhere, but I couldn’t find it poking around. I looked in the Handbook. Anyone know where it is?

If anyone else is using fvwm I’d love to hear about it.

Found it. Forgot/didn’t know that ACPI deprecated…

Battery info is at /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/* on Pocket Reform. I can cobble up a script from that.
