GeekTool - Useful and fun info on the desktop
Authored by: pascalpp on Jul 09, '04 01:40:45AM

you could do this with one module using the following command:

date "+%l:%m%n%a %b %e"

Set it to update every 60 seconds and tell GeekTool to center the text and it should look just like what you've got in your screenshot. this way you wouldn't have to run 2 uptime instances.

Type man strftime for more info on the date formatting codes used above.

Should read:
date "+%l:%M%n%a %b %e"
Note uppercase "M" (for minutes) as opposed to lowercase "m" (for month) rag
