FYI, I have a script
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/sh
if [ -S "/tmp/emacs`id -u`/server" ]; then
emacsclient -n --eval '(battery)'
else
echo "Cannot find emacs server socket";
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
that I always use it to get the battery info. I'm using a minimalism
window manager that doesn't have battery widget by default.
