How to use it?

[lockheed]

It seems like a great tool, but there is no information how to use it. In arch, starting the service creates the folder "/etc/connman-dispatcher" which I suppose is where the scripts should go.

But how are they supposed to be named? In what folders? There must be some way for the service to differentiate between scripts that are to be run on connect, and on disconnect, etc.

Please, provide some info.

I updated the readme file, check it out and tell if you still have questions.

Great. But it says "connman-dispatcher -p /etc/connman-dispatcher"
How does it work with connman-dispatcher as a systemd service?

[a-sk]

When you run it with a default systemd unit file, it is run like this:

/usr/bin/connman-dispatcher -p /etc/connman-dispatcher

so every script in /etc/connman-dispatcher is executed as it's said in the readme file.

Did I answer your question, because I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.

Thanks. I did some tests, and it indeed runs some simple scripts, like that one:

#! /bin/sh
up() {
touch /lalalala
}

down() {
touch /lalala2
}

state="$1"

case $state in
    up)
        up
        ;;
    down)
        down
        ;;
esac

but it doesn't run a more complex script, like this one:

#! /bin/sh
up() {
    echo secretpass | sshfs [email protected]:public_html /mnt/larum/ -p 16969 -o workaround=rename -o password_stdin
}

down() {
    fusermount -u /mnt/larum/
}

state="$1"

case $state in
    up)
        up
        ;;
    down)
        down
        ;;
esac

or

#! /bin/sh
up() {
mount -tbitcasa [email protected] /mnt/bitcasa -o password=test123
}

down() {
    umount /mnt/bitcasa
    umount /mnt/bitcasa2
}

state="$1"

case $state in
    up)
        up
        ;;
    down)
        down
        ;;
esac

Do you know why it could be so?

If you run it using systemd, you can check it's output by running:

sudo journalctl -b -u connman-dispatcher 

And of course, you can just run it from the command line and see the output immediately.
