[solved] rc.d script "status" command

bgalakazam · 2010-06-08 06:51:57

So I am trying to make a hotkey Fn+F6 to turn on and off my bluetooth. The problem is that ThinkWiki gives a script for init.d which have the status option. Without it, the action script only disables bluetooth as it never gets the status output string to check if it should enable or disable. This is not a major issue, however, I would like to get this working. Is there any other way to check if bluetooth is currently running and start/stop it all from 1 script?

The one they have is:

#!/bin/bash
# Bluetooth enable/disable script

/etc/init.d/bluetooth status

if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
        /etc/init.d/bluetooth start > /dev/null
        echo enabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
        echo "Bluetooth enabled"
else
        /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop > /dev/null
        echo disabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
        echo "Bluetooth disabled"
fi

And the event controller is (not that it matters):

event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
action=/etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth

"ls /var/run/daemons" gives a list of currently running daemons, provided they are launched in the standard Arch way

So how would the if statement change then?

if [ -f /var/run/daemons/bluetooth ]

and you will want to change all those /etc/init.d/...

Right now my action script is:

#!/bin/bash
# Bluetooth enable/disable script

if [ -f /var/run/daemons/bluetooth ]; then
        /etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop > /dev/null
        echo disabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
        echo "Bluetooth disabled"
else
        /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start > /dev/null
        echo enabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
        echo "Bluetooth enabled"
fi

I have tried changing the if and else functions, but to no avail. I am also restarting acpid so it is not that.

Any ideas?

Are you running the script as root, aren't you?

Why not use one of the already existing control files?
BT=/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
BT=/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
BTCAT=$(grep -c "status.*enabled" /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth)
BTCAT=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable)

case "$BTCAT" in
1) /etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop >/dev/null 2>&1
echo 0 > $BT (or echo disabled > $BT, depending on the control file you choose)
;;
0) ...
;;
esac

Maybe you should also introduce a test if the bluetooth daemon is running:
BTDAEMON=$(ls /var/run/daemons | grep -c bluetooth)
[[ $BTDAEMON = 1 ]] && /etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop
[[ $BTDAEMON = 0 ]] && /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start

As you're using a thinkpad, you can also use that on a hotkey:

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/handler.sh
BT=/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
BTCAT=$(cat $BT)
BTDAEMON=$(ls /var/run/daemons | grep -c bluetooth)
EVENT=$1\ $2\ $3\ $4

case "$EVENT" in
     ibm*1006)    # FN+F6
        case "$BTCAT" in
            1)    [[ $BTDAEMON = 1 ]] && /etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop
                  echo 0 > $BT;;
            0)    [[ $BTDAEMON = 1 ]] && /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
                  echo 1 > $BT;;
        esac;;
esac
