My first day

[Peter Rasmussen]

Yes, and it seems that we shouldn't be too worried about jitter in the 
values during charging, or what?

The script:

root at fic-gta01:~$ cat get-batt-value.sh
#!/bin/sh
count=1
while [ "$count" -le "$1" ]
do
printf "%d. " $count
battvolt=$(cat `find /sys | grep battvolt`)
printf "%d\n" $battvolt
sleep 2
let count=count+1
done

Produced:

root at fic-gta01:~$ sh get-batt-value.sh 10
1. 3884
2. 3890
3. 3931
4. 3890
5. 3890
6. 3890
7. 3896
8. 3878
9. 3878
10. 3890

Not so bad I guess, I am not familiar with battery characteristics, but 
a little surprised anyway :-)
