Couple more things that I want to do, and I am unsure where to hook into: - On success, this script has to save a "last successful run" timestamp locally. Somewhere very cheap to read. If we have a "flags" directory, I will gladly touch a file - that is how cheap and simple I mean :-) Do we have a "flags" directory that we preserve across reboots? - Similarly, do we have a "locks" directory? I need to flock a file to prevent concurrent runs... It is ok if the locks dir gets wiped at boot time. /var/lock exists, but the lock group does not include our "olpc" user. - Can we trigger scripts on network changes easily? I want to hook up on the same hook that switches gabble on :-) (hmmm, I found /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d , looks promising) - Can we check cheaply from shell whether we are on battery power, and what the level of the battery is? Is it safe to just read /sys/class/power_supply/olpc-battery/capacity and /sys/class/power_supply/olpc-ac/status? cheers, martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
