Get the forcast

[rhoobler]

On my Mandrakelinux system. I can get the weather forecast from the command line by typing

>weather ewk

(I'm in New Jersey). Any airport code will work. If you put your state abbreviation in (ie: NJ) then you get a list of codes.

This is done via telnet to:

Pretty cool to show a M$ windows user!

Hey, now thats cool. I never knew that was even on my system. Thanks for the heads up!

I don't have a Mandrakelinux in hands

If it just a script, can someone send it to me? or just send a whole package which has it? or url to the package?

Thank you in advance

Eh, I just use ForcastFox (available on the main Firefox plugin site).

I do too... but from command line...?

[Pugio]

No. But as I'm using FireFox all the time anyway....

Actually, at one point I did make a script that did this. It would dowload local weather data/images and display them as my desktop background. I even had it animated at one point.

just fyi gdesklets have a couple of nice weather reporting facilities. and gdesklets look very nice on a desktop :-)

I wanted a command line tool because I spend most of my time in command line tools. Firefox is always opened but I just want to become more geeky :-)
