# Application and script launcher
|
|
|
|
This plugin allows you to execute system commands and start bash scripts.
|
|
|
|
## Application launcher
|
|
|
|
The application launcher allows you to call bash applications or commands with parameters from nymea.
|
|
Once, the application started, the `running` state will change to `true`, if the application
|
|
is finished, the `running` state will change to `false`.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
An example command could be [espeak](http://linux.die.net/man/1/espeak). (`apt-get install espeak`)
|
|
|
|
espeak -v en "Chuck Norris is using nymea"
|
|
|
|
## Bash script launcher
|
|
|
|
The bashscript launcher allows you to start a bash script (with parameters)
|
|
from nymea. Once, the script is running, the `running` state will change to `true`, if the application
|
|
is finished, the `running` state will change to `false`.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
An example for a very useful script could be a backup scrip like following `backup.sh` script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
# Directories to backup...
|
|
backup_files="/home /etc /root /opt /var/www /var/lib/jenkins"
|
|
|
|
# Destination of the backup...
|
|
dest="/mnt/backup"
|
|
|
|
# Create archive filename...
|
|
day=$(date +%Y%m%d)
|
|
hostname="nymea.io"
|
|
archive_file="$day-$hostname.tgz"
|
|
|
|
# Print start status message...
|
|
echo "Backing up $backup_files to $dest/$archive_file"
|
|
date
|
|
echo
|
|
|
|
# Backup the files using tar.
|
|
tar czf $dest/$archive_file $backup_files
|
|
|
|
echo
|
|
echo "Backup finished"
|
|
date
|
|
echo "==========================="
|
|
echo " DONE, have a nice day! "
|
|
echo "==========================="
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make the script executable use following command:
|
|
|
|
chmod +x backup.sh
|
|
|
