Hi guys, I want to share with you my version of this script! I hope someone can further improve and adopt it.

! /bin/bash

MIN=40 MAX=80 STATUS=cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status BAT=cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity

if [ $BAT -le $MIN ] && [ "$STATUS" == 'Discharging' ]; then notify-send --icon=battery --urgency=critical "Battery below $MIN%. Plug it in to preserve battery lifespan!" elif [ $BAT -ge $MAX ] && [ "$STATUS" == 'Charging' ]; then notify-send --icon=battery --urgency=critical "Battery above $MAX%. Unplug it to preserve battery lifespan!" fi

The package as of 03-13-2017 is not working in arch. So I have used your idea and kokoko3k's idea in "https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1431917" and created a new bash script. The new bash script is as follows [code] #! /bin/bash MIN=40 MAX=80 while true ; do unplugged=$(cat /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/battery/*/power_supply/BAT?/status|grep -i discharging) acpiout=$(acpi) if [ "$(echo $acpiout|grep -Po "[0-9]+(?=%)")" -le $MIN ]; then #Battery under low limit if [ ! "$unplugged" == "" ]; then #unplugged notify-send "Battery under $MIN percent. Please plug in the adapter" fi elif [ "$(echo $acpiout|grep -Po "[0-9]+(?=%)")" -ge $MAX ]; then #Battery over high limit if [ "$unplugged" == "" ]; then #plugged notify-send "Battery above $MAX percent. Please remove the adapter" fi fi sleep 10 #Repeat every 10 seconds done [/code] Can you please incorporate the changes and update the package. Thank You.

Thanks for letting me know, and your welcome - I hope you're finding it useful. I'll fix it when I upload to AUR4.

Hi! First time poster to the AUR here. Just thought I'd let you know that your PKGBUILD has a stray comma in the `arch` line, line 15. Thanks for packaging it!
