making an applet for finding core temp

[abhigyan91]

hey, im a noob linux user.. i have a compaq zq50, nvidia geforce 8200MG.
i found out that using,




nvidia-settings --query all | grep 'GPUCoreTemp'



I can find out the core temperature of my computer.

on executing the code, it returns


Attribute 'GPUCoreTemp' (abhigyan-laptop:0.0): 77.
'GPUCoreTemp' is an integer attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' is a read-only attribute.
'GPUCoreTemp' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.


as you can see, the last three lines are pretty useless.
1. Is there any way to get rid of these lines? means i only want the last integer on the first line as the output.

2.Also i wanted to make an applet that can be added to my panel that perennially shows the core temp. Can any1 advise me on how to proceed. I want to know how to make an applet in general, can it be made only using only the shell programming language or do you need c++, python etc?
I have some knowledge of python, c and c++(am very noob here too :(), so i dont mind using this to my advantage to build the applet.

Thanks in advance!!

nvidia-settings --query all | grep 'GPUCoreTemp' | grep abhigyan-laptop | awk '{print $4}'

change the 4 until you get the right thing. Awk prints the 4th item on that line. Also something like
nvidia-settings --query all | grep 'GPUCoreTemp' | cut -f2 -d:
could do the trick, but I'm not into 'cut'.
