Browser launch script - enables WIFI etc
A script I use regularly on my HD3 (mileage may vary on other models)
The script will enable WIFI, connect to the last used network, test for an internet connection then launch the browser. Once you've finished with the browser, closing it will cause the script to attempt to return the device's network state back to how it was at script launch, i.e. turn off WIFI etc. * The script will not re-enable flight-mode if you're listening to an audiobook or music. Code:
#!/bin/sh # pocketbook system apps this script uses browser=/ebrmain/cramfs/bin/browser.app netagent=/ebrmain/cramfs/bin/netagent # Exit function to restore original network conditions and browser settings function restore { # if this script turned on WIFI, on exit turn off if [ "${wifi}" == "1" ]; then $netagent net off; fi # if this script turned off flight mode, checks for BT and turns off if [ "${flmode}" == "1" ]; then # BT on and connected - do nothing if [ -d "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:1" ]; then : # BT on and not connected elif [ -d "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0" ]; then $netagent flightmode on $netagent bt on # BT off else $netagent flightmode on fi fi } trap restore 0 # check flight mode off if [ "$(netagent flightmode status)" == "flight mode = activated" ]; then flmode=1 $netagent flightmode off fi # check wifi on if [ ! -d "/sys/class/net/eth0" ]; then wifi=1 $netagent net on fi dialog 1 "" "Connecting, please wait..." "" & sleep 1; kill "$!" # check connected to wifi network - device connects to last used and available network if [[ $(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier) == 0 ]]; then sleep 5 while [[ $(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier) == 0 ]]; do dialog 5 "" "Still attempting to connect to a wireless network! Wait?" "Yes" "No" if [ $? != 1 ]; then exit; fi $netagent connect sleep 3 done fi # check internet connected function internet { test="$(curl -Is http://www.google.com | head -n 1)" test="${test:13:2}" } i=0 internet; if [ "$test" != "OK" ]; then sleep 3 internet; while [ "$test" != "OK" ]; do let i++ dialog 3 "" "No internet! Wait?" "Yes" "No" if [ $? != 1 ]; then exit; fi # on third failed connection prompts to connect to different network if [ "$i" == "3" ]; then $netagent connect; fi sleep 3 internet done fi $browser https://www.mobileread.com/forums exit 0 |
