Thread: Bash Script Monitor and take action

hi

in process of writing bash script (which run on netbook) monitor status of ac power , take action if power changes battery power, namely suspend netbook. when netbook resumes script should start again, happy until ac power changes.

part troubles me how script keep running after has told netbook suspend. way have found far write second "inverse" script watches change ac power battery power, calls first script again, seems on top. how can combine 2 scripts in one?(i know on_ac_power it's not how make script "work", scripting , syntax)

script (in english)

code:

script 1  there ac power?  yes loop.  no run script 2 , suspend.  exit    script 2  there battery power?  yes loop. (we want suspend after loss of ac power)  no run script 1.  exit

also, should have script running time (so whilst ac power on keeps looping @ timed inteval) or "better" run cronjob?

no need exit... run script time...

code:

if no power suspend. // suspended here, or not loop // script resumes there when computer resumes.
