yweather help

In case you want more out of your yweather script when you use it for Geektool, here are some other switches you can use:

I’ve figured out some of it, so I guess my only tip is to not try to use more than one argument at a time (except as shown below with the units example) and therefore to use a bunch of geeklets if you want to show a lot of information.

Also, I believe that ‘weather.png’ in the images folder is the current weather, so you should be able to show it using an image geeklet.

Usage:
./yweather.pl -ct Displays current temperature
