http://crunchbang.org – This is a short script I use to monitor the remaining balance on my Virgin Mobile data card.Hopefully some of you will find it useful. It shouldn't be too difficult to improve/adapt it for another carrier.In the source code for my login page the "username" is designated as "min", the "password" is "vkey".The relevant line on the page contains the text "3G MB Remaining".To add the content of "mbleft.txt" to conky, I put this line in my .conkyrc:3G Remaining:${alignr}${execi 60 cat mbleft.txt}#!/bin/bash wget --no-check-certificat (HowTos)
