Please, send away! And thank you, as a perl geek I am not. I speak just
enough C or assembly(on a 6x09 platform), to be dangerous. Here is the Perl script
in attachment :-)
The problem is that the URL to fetch the weather data changed and the
data format too...
The script name is: GrabWeather
To install it, replace the existing one in /usr/share/gkrellm/:
sudo cp GrabWeather /usr/share/gkrellm/
make sure it is executable:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/gkrellm/GrabWeather
Then restart gkrellm.
That's it!
Disclaimer :-)
It worked perfectly for me but I cannot ensure it will work for you...
Enjoy!

I'm that guy off screen, haveing handily exceeded
the average life
time the media is going nuts over.
This is off topic as can be, but calling the service has never
actually put me in touch with anybody that knew what I was talking
about. so...
However, your sig makes me lodge a conplaint about a service thats
has apparently been discontinued, eg the access to current
conditions at "KCKB", or for that matter any other net station.
I have a system monitor called gkrellm that has a weather plugin,
and its last valid connection was July 28th, 11:53 pm. I found it
quite handy, and since it was a totally automated service, self
updating at about 30 minute intervals, saw no financial advantage
for NWS/you in shutting off that service. Can it not be restored? I
believe the problem lies in the DNS lookup of KCKB or any other of
the 4 letter station codes used for this service nationwide. You can
PM me at gheskett at shentel dot net
I made a workaround for this problem when
gkrellm weather plugin
stopped working.
It is only a Perl script (native to the plugin) to modify.
If you are interested I can send it with instructions to this list.
Cheers.
