hi guys, i'm working with bash, i'm creating a script that check the battery status and the wall carger status to do some things like keep battery life disabling some features (wifi, 3g mode, ringtone, vibration, bluetooth, fmradio, etc)

can somone help me? the script has to save the current profile if different from silent, i made some mistakes and i'm a little bit confused with it becouse it doesnt save the right used profile.

this is the code i made

**** the code is in test for that i left "battery.charge_level.percentage = " empty to test it better

You could try "cp /home/user/.profiled/current /home/user/profilo.txt"

i'm using this line

Code:

         run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profile | grep "string" | sed s/'   string '/''/g > /home/user/profilo.txt && sleep 2

becouse i have to remove the "string" output line and keep just the profile in the quotations.. The problem that i have is that the script does everythin i wrote, but it doesnt load the right profile couse i cant find the error..

For God's sake please use functions () { }; in your script
And attach scripts here to tmo as attachment, rather than using pastebin which will vanisch in a week, or month, or year the latest

BTW if you definitely need bash then you should use
#!/bin/bash
Your shebang is calling ash aka messybox on a standard maemo system

where's the problem?

If you got 2 or more locations that look like

Code:

...
A
B
C
D
...

then you get *one*

Code:

myABCDfunction() 
{
  A
  B
  C
  D
}

and replace each occurrence of the four lines A B C D by

Code:

...
myABCDfunction
...

If you got

Code:

B 1

at one location and

Code:

B 2

at another, then do

Code:

myABCDfunction() 
{
  A
  B $1
  C
  D
}

and call like

Code:

...
myABCDfunction 1
...
myABCDfunction 2
...

[edit]
another comment: when you need to use sudo then you obviously don't run the script under root, so you don't need to use run-standalone (though it doesn't hurt).
To do arbitrary commands via sudo you probably need to tweak sudoers config in /etc/sudores.d/yourfile a bit.
