It's not pretty, but it works! I'm using Fluxbox and I bound this script
to alt-f. Copy and paste into your favorite editor, save and make it
executable (chmod u+x flash.sh).
#!/bin/bash
# flash.sh -- toggle flash on/off
# Where is Flash located? Put all paths here
# You need write access to libflashplayer.so
# and ShockwaveFlash.class
fpath1=/home/todd/phoenix/plugins
#fpath2=/another/place
#fpath3=/still/another/place
# Where to move Flash (to "turn it off"?)
NotherPath=/home/todd
# Locate Flash files and make a list of them
# If you specified more than one path above,
# add them after $fpath1, i.e.
# find $fpath1 $fpath2 etc.
if [ ! -f .libflashlocations ] ; then
find $fpath1 -name libflashplayer.so > .libflashlocations
find $fpath1 -name ShockwaveFlash.class > .shockflashlocations
fi
# If Flash is on, turn it off
if [ -f `head -1 .libflashlocations` ] ; then
for i in `cat .libflashlocations`
do
FileName=`basename $i`
mv $i $NotherPath/$FileName
done
for i in `cat .shockflashlocations`
do
FileName=`basename $i`
mv $i $NotherPath/$FileName
done
else # turn it back on
for i in `cat .libflashlocations`
do
FileName=`basename $i`
mv $NotherPath/$FileName $i
done
for i in `cat .shockflashlocations`
do
FileName=`basename $i`
mv $NotherPath/$FileName $i
done
fi
exit
