OK, this seems to be unreliable:

Code:
--------------------
    
  #!/bin/sh
  SHAREPATH='/mnt/media/Videos'
  
  # Check for an file open anywhere in SHAREPATH..
  
  OPENFILE=`/usr/bin/lsof +D "$SHAREPATH"`
  
  if [ -n "$OPENFILE" ]; then
  echo "File $OPENFILEis open.."
  exit 1
  fi
  
  exit 0
--------------------
The DLNA server that I'm using, mediatomb, only opens a file momentarily
to read the portion that it's currently streaming.  So the above is only
occasionally clued into the fact that mediatomb is actively streaming a
file.

Bandwidth monitoring of the network interface seems to be more
promising.  The following seems to correctly detect current network
bandwidth usage above a certain threshold:


Code:
--------------------
    
  #!/bin/sh
  
  #Threshold for bytes transmitted over a 10 second interval..
  THRESHOLD="10000.00"
  
  # Check for current network bandwith usage above our THRESHOLD..
  
  # from wgm-ng README:
  #csv output format: 
  
  #Type svg, sum, max:
  #unix 
timestamp;iface_name;bytes_out;bytes_in;bytes_total;packets_out;packets_in;packets_total;errors_out;errors_in\n
  
  #monitor bandwith usage on eth0 for 10 seconds | sed output just last (total) 
line | awk extract the 3rd csv field
  
  TXSUM=`bwm-ng --interfaces eth0 --allif 0 --type rate --count 10 --output csv 
--ansiout --type sum --unit bytes | sed '$!d' | awk -F ";" '{ print $3 }'`
  
  #use bc to do a floating point comparison..
  ABOVETHRESHOLD=`echo "$TXSUM> $THRESHOLD" | bc`
  
  if [ $ABOVETHRESHOLD -gt 0 ]
  then 
  echo "System is busy!  TXSUM == $TXSUM"
  exit 1
  else
  echo "System is not busy!  TXSUM == $TXSUM"
  fi
  
  exit 0
  
--------------------
Having to call bwm-ng, sed, awk and bc all seems a little heavy handed. 
Can anyone think of a simpler way to do this?
