Subject: problem with function in prompt
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:23:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <F8A44F57-744F-41C4-B030-8170FCF1F03D@agrussell.com> (raw)
I have the following function in a sourced file..
function free_mem() {
FM=$(ruby -e '
x = `vm_stat`.each_line.to_a[0..4].join.scan(/([0-9]*?)
\./).flatten.map { |i| (i.to_i * 4096) / 1000000 };
y = `sysctl hw.memsize`.split(/:\s/).last.to_i / 1000000;
puts "%F{82}#{x[0]}%f/%F{yellow}#{x[2]}%f/%F{69}#{y}%f";')
echo $FM
}
and then in my prompt i have this:
$(free_mem)
The problem is that it never re-executes the function in the prompt ----
setopt prompt_subst
PROMPT_INFO="$(draw f21 ul hbar) $(host_name)- %L
$(draw f21 ll hbar) $(dir_name) $(free_mem)"
DEF_PROMPT="${(e)${PROMPT_INFO}} %F{cyan} [ %f"
INS_MODE_PROMPT="${(e)${PROMPT_INFO}} %F{red} [ %f"
The value that appears in the prompt is always the same as the one
when the shell was initially executed.
I tried placing it in a variable within precmd and then using that
variable in the prompt like this:
precmd() {
FREE_MEM=$(free_mem)
}
PROMPT="$FREE_MEM"
but that didn't work either
If I call free_mem directly from the prompt (or echo FREE_MEM) it
outputs the correct string... so what am I missing?
