has anyone come accross a way to check the status of a battery in an iBook (or PowerBook I supose) from the terminal.

Thnx,

It's not exactly what you want, but check the man page for pmset -- what you seek (a cool idea) is somewhere down that path, I expect. :)
 
Thanks. You're right, tho - not quite what I was looking for :)
I've seen that when you boot into single user mode (or at least I seem to remember...) that there's a message showing the battery status in percent. Hence I'm assuming there'll be a C API to that somewhere. I'll have a dig around when I have time and see if I can knock up a little CLI util to do it.
