There are a couple of approaches. You can dump any output by redirecting it to /dev/null:

Code:

mycommand > /dev/null

(if "mycommand" is sufficiently complex, parenthesize it). But I think that if your script produces no output whatsoever, QBW replaces its results with "No Output". So what you really want to do is to do the echo, but not affect the status. That takes a slight bit of shell magic:

Code:

mycommand > /dev/null; s=$?; echo " "; exit $s

Here, $? is the exit status of the previous command (mycommand). You save it in the variable s, do the echo, and then explicitly make s be the exit status.

Warning: don't put blanks around the equals sign. The shell doesn't like that.

- without the echo "", there is the proper exist status (0 or 2), with the background color of the icon correctly shown. However, I also see all the text output in the screen.

Or just hide the results output like this:

Thanks! I was really thinking in the first option, but about filtering the output to print ... well, to print nothing (but the exit was kept then). But this didn't convince me, so indeed this is what I was searching, how to pass variables between the pipeline.

But, when the kind program has already an easy solution for it, then life is ... well, easier

Thanks for the fast answer =)

Hi - just wondering if this is a possibility? To me it would have a distinct advantage over other apps you have to physically access to see online status as you could just see it at a glance with a beecon.

Thanks in advance

Hi and sorry for late response ... technically I don't believe it's a big problem to create a beecon for this.
Only problem is to find the relevant scripts, dbus commands for looping through contact list (or a shorter subset which can be specified in the beecon itself) and fetching the online status.

I suggest you reformulate your question and post it into Fremantle or N900 forum groups and hope someone with sufficient knowledge will be able to answer.

If you find the scripts/command I'll be happy to help in manufacturing the beecon.

I already searched a bit for such scripts but with no success so far.

Ciao.

This can be a start but I still haven't found how to translate a nickname/contact into the integer that the GetPresences method is looking for as a paramater

Hi! I'm looking for a method to control the wi-fi power saving level for a defined internet connection with Qeen BeeCon Widget.
Can this be done with dbus calls?

I read the wiki but found no hint - so please can someone here point me to the right direction?

Still in the brewery and internal testing ... in extras-devel within few days

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)

New: REVOLUTION!!!

Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)

Changed: Logic to purge configuration settings of non-existent QBW instances from configuration file. (Check/Purge performed at every entrance in Settings dialog)
Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed.
Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed.

The implementation of QBW click hot spots opens up a new world ...

Like, for example, something like this...
