  • Weather script

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 19:31:33
    Hello All,

    I wrote a script that grabs the 3-day forecast for my location from wttr.in and
    posts it to my BBS. This is written in bash.

    The display is converted to ASCII so all users can view it using iconv. The lines you're interested in are lines 4 and 5.

    === Cut ===
    #!/bin/bash
    export MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse
    cd $MBSE_ROOT/work
    curl wttr.in/?TdFn > ./test
    iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT test -o weather1.asc
    cp weather1.asc $MBSE_ROOT/share/int/txtfiles/en/weather1.asc
    === Cut ===
