You can't trigger scripts at specific time.
What you can do is setup QBW to run periodically (say 15/30 mins for your specific scenario, but depends on your need for precision) and check in your script if right time has come to perform action.

Open xterm
Fire:
Code:
dbus-monitor --system
and see what signals get issued by the system when call is terminated, rejected, dropped ...

Try and study a DBUS rule to feed QBW's DBUS Event Monitor with.



That will then be the trigger for your command execution

Is there a way to shut down the device using dbus or something else since "shutdown -P now" (as root) command doesn't work? I'd like to have a shutdown QB widget on my desktop.

Hello, I have a little question:
What do I need to type in command, if I want the xterm to do something.
For example Overclocking:
Code:
sudo gainroot
echo 1000000 > /sys/ etc...
Or renaming a file:
Code:
cd .mupen64plus/
mv blight_input.conf blight_input.conf3
mv blight_input.conf2 blight_input.conf
Is it the same "osoo-xterm -e" thing, and does it wotk with more than 1 line (like sudo gainroot or cd first)?

Thanks

From QBW you can ran them without spawning an osso-xterm

Just put the sequence of commands like this:

Code:
command1 parm; command2 parm; command3 parm ...
For gaining root access please search this forum with keywords:
Code:
sudo gainroot rootsh
to find the best combination to use

OK ... Queen BeeCon Widget release 0.1.9.8 is now in extras-devel
Partial Change Log since 0.1.4
Code:
queen-beecon (0.1.9.8)

  * New: Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename. 
  * Changed: Extended error message text to all DBUS methods
  * Changed: Now when command or script do not return any output no more "No Output" text gets printed inside the widget
  * Bugfixing: Added error message if non existing parameter is supplied to all DBUS methods "set_param_*" 
  * Bugfixing: Under certain conditions HotSpot Index was not properly reset in case update policies prevented execution of script from happening. Fixed.

queen-beecon (0.1.9.7)

  * New: -
  * Changed: Line width for widget contours FX when widget pressed set to 1px    
  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy issues for DBUS Monitor. Fixed
  * Bugfixing: "If you enter a long name for the title, the right part of the prefs gui isn't visible anymore and you can't scroll to the now hidden gadgets!". Fixed. Area is now scrollable also horizontally.
  * Bugfixing: Issues with positioning of small widgets with respect to bottom and right margins. Fixed. 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)

  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_HTTP_PROXY, $QBW_HTTPS_PROXY, $QBW_FTP_PROXY, $QBW_SOCKS_PROXY, $QBW_RTSP_PROXY (In the format <host:port>)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_IGNORE_HOSTS_PROXY (In the format <host1;host2;host...>)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_AUTO_CONFIG_PROXY_URL
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold status or persistency information stored in configuration via DBUS method call set_param_string string:"rememberMe" string:<rememberthis> : $QBW_REMEMBER_ME. Useful, for example, for remembering values like counters across subsequent command executions. 
  * Changed: Logic to purge configuration settings of non-existent QBW instances from configuration file. (Check/Purge performed at every entrance in Settings dialog)    
  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy problem with Settings dialog box. At times, in case of laggy interface, 2 or more instances of dialog were opening. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of callback functions for async command execution and timers. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed. 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.5)

  * New: Added supplementary progress images/icons (cycle is "queen-beecon-progress[0-3].png") searching logic in directory storage in this order 1) "~/Mydocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir" 2) "~/.queen_beecon_dir"   
  * New: Added button in Command Edit dialog to add instance only commands to the list of stored commands   
  * New: Implementation of following DBUS methods: get_current_results_text (Get current content of results text) 
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds the current content of results text ($QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT=Current content of results text)

  * Changed: Shadow/Light effects on widget surface, either when pressed or not, are now fixed in size (~4px)  
  * Changed: Changed some logic in simple Command Edit dialog box  
  * Changed: After instance imported, now advanced dialog box closes and reverts back to settings with all parameters reloaded
  * Changed: Changed Warning and Information notification in Advanced Settings to display hildon_banner*  
  * Changed: Changed DBUS connection acquisition for DBUS Monitor.  
  * Bugfixing: Refined and fixed logic for DBUS Monitor initialization and deinitialization   
  * Bugfixing: Changed and fixed logic for handling/displaying Exit Code if error spawning asynchronous command  
  * Bugfixing: New asynchronous execution logic was not releasing file handles. Fixed

queen-beecon (0.1.9.4)

  * New: Ability to execute scripts by intercepting specific DBUS broadcasted signals/methods/errors issued by the system or other applications + Relevant configuration parameters (Ex.keyboard lock, slide open/close, ecc.)   
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts triggered by intercepted DBUS broadcasted signals/methods ($QBW_EXEC_REASON=QBW_DBUS_MONITOR, $QBW_DBUS_VERBOSE_OUTPUT=Verbose Output see wiki)
  * Changed: Changed icons for displaying command execution in progress (shown when script in progress and hidden on execution completion)

    * Bugfixing: Some fixing and cleanup in package install/uninstall 

queen-beecon (0.1.8-testonly-PR1.2)

    * WARNING This release is for testing purposes only as PR1.2 upgrade brought some instabilities which need forensics!!!
    * New: Implementation of DBUS methods: reset_rearm_timer
    * New: QBW is now integrated into the N900 system backup/restore features according to standard specifications as better described in SDK "Using Backup Application" http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Generic_Platform_Components/Using_Backup_Application#Custom_back-up_locations

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material


A major new feature in this release:

Several fixes here and there ... hope I haven't broken anything!!!
WARNING, this is one of the latest intermediate release to extras-devel!


Feel free to experiment with all extended features implemented since 0.1.4 and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.

QBW shouldn't crash any more if upgraded from >=0.1.9.6 to 0.1.9.8!!! Please, report any problem or crash during installation/upgrade if they still persist

Have fun

Hello, I really love this application, its very usefull.

I have a little request:
In the settings, to change the Icon size, the slider is really annoying. It takes hours to get the right size, and for example its impossible to set Width to 200 (only 199 and 201 is possible). Also the slider gets in the way, if you want to scroll down.

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the sliders with a field, where you can type the width and the hight in?

It's just a suggestion, if you think it's good as it is now, Its ok for me too.

You are right ...

new width/height controls:



Minor issue ... At time, if you increase or decrease the value with the buttons, the slider appears not to be updated even if actually the value changes. If you save and re-enter or simply click forth and back one more time the value displays correctly ... it seems an intrinsic defect of sliders with very wide span of values ... hope you can bear with it!
Unless someone has got any solution...
