Is there a command line entry that returns a value that can be used to determine if the N900 is in Silent or General profile?

I am using a timed shell script which calls play-sound to play clock chimes, the disadvantage of which is that play-sound will always play, even when the phone's profile is set to Silent.

I need something to exit or otherwise control the shell script, along the lines of
if {
IsProfileSilent() == true
} exit;

cat /home/user/.profiled/current

Returns "silent" or "general".

Did you try, if TimedSilencer can do 'something' for you?

This is the Rosetta stone you seek.

Thank you!

How would I capture & compare that string returned within a shell script? I am not very familiar with shell scripting.

Thank you, but I am trying to localize this within an existing shell script.

vi_ : Thank you. I see that
Code:
dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profile
also returns the profile, but in a more verbose statement.
I think in this case only the "silent" or "general" returned by
Code:
cat /home/user/.profiled/current
would be easier to work with.

Something like:

Code:
if [ `cat /home/user/.profiled/current` == "Outdoors" ]; then echo "Not inside";fi
should work.

Thank you all; it seems to have worked with
Code:
if [ `cat /home/user/.profiled/current` == "silent" ]; then
exit 1
fi
