This is a button that allows to run script when toggled (on and off scripts) and to monitor status by status script.
Install this plasmoid using plasmapkg2 --install . in the plasmoid directory.
The plasmoid can by configured in the settings menu:
- On Script will execute a script (can be a full path to a script or bash snippet) when toggling from off state to on. The icon will be changed to "On" icon.
- Off Script will execute a script (can be a full path to a script or bash snippet) when toggling from on state to off. The icon will be changed to "Off" icon.
- Status Script can be used to monitor application (or the Internet connection). The script should return 0 on success (to show "On" state), something else on error (to show "Off" state)
- Check status on startup: Run once "Status script" on system startup
- Run periodically: Run "Status Script" in defined interval
- Disable On and Off scripts
- Enable Status Script on startup and to run periodically
- set interval to your needs
- Add status script
ping -c 2 -q example.com
- Enable On script
- Add On script eg:
sudo systemctl start docker(assuimg this command can be run without password) - disable Off and Status scripts
When button will be pressed the script will be launched, if a service was started sucessfully the icon will stay green, otherwise the icon will go back to red.
- Enable everything :)
- Checking service status:
systemctl status docker(systemctl returns exit codes according to service state already) - Checking if a file exists:
exit $(test -f path/to/file); - Checking if a file does not exist:
exit $(! test -f path/to/file); - Checking if a file contains a specific string:
exit $(test $(cat path/to/file | grep -c pattern) -ne 0) - Checking if HDMI-0 display is active:
exit $(test $(xrandr --listactivemonitors | grep -c HDMI-0) -ne 0)
- On script should exit with 0, otherwise icon be change to red
(test it by adding On script
sleep 5; exit 1) - Off script exit code is not taken into account
- By default plasmoid shows red (Off) icon when started, this can be easily changed:
set Status script
exit 0to run once on startup
- tooltip with custom name
- tooltip or dialog with output from scripts
