i (and a lot more, i guess) would like to have some script/application which kills or starts "high load" network stuff like skype. it should kill (send offline) skype when i leave my wlan or usb-lan and restart it when i connect to it again. this mechanism could save a lot of traffic for dataplan/noflat users.

i was told that this should be possible via dbus, but my dbus knowledge is very limited.

is anyone willing to implement that or is it impossible?

Ok heres a python script to set status to offline on skype at Wlan disconnect. I can't test completely right now as I am roaming, so try it out and let me know.

Code:

import gobject
import dbus
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop

import subprocess

def Wlan_StDis(interf):
	acc_r=subprocess.Popen('/usr/bin/dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/AccountManager org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager string:ValidAccounts | grep -m 1 skype', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, ).communicate()[0]
	acc = acc_r[22:-2]
	print acc
	bus= dbus.SessionBus()
	accm = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager', acc)
	accm.Set('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Account', 'RequestedPresence', \
		dbus.Struct(( dbus.UInt32(1) ,  'Offline', 'Disconnect by script' ), signature='uss'),
		dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties')
DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
dbus.SystemBus().add_signal_receiver(Wlan_StDis,dbus_interface=None,signal_name="disconnected",bus_name="com.nokia.wlancond",path="/com/nokia/wlancond/signal",)
gobject.MainLoop().run()

Man, I'd really like the dev of AutoDisconnect to pick this feature up.

I'm really vouching for that app to become the ultimate connections manager for Maemo. VII, would you be interested in dropping that line to the AutoDisconnect developer?

Save the script to your device, then run it from terminal.
rootsh required
python2.5 required
need to be root
need to chmod a+x in terminal for the script

ex:
/usr/bin/python2.5 /home/user/ScriptName.py

Sure anyone who wants to make something of this script is encouraged.
As of right now it is not fully tested!
Futher I do not know if AutoDisconnect is writen in python or if the developer will like the way this works.

The backend work in AutoDisconnect is actually Bash, but I see no big issues in recalling your script from within AD.

I'm gonna patch the backend scripts later today, but I'd need some help from Aymeric (AD developer) in order to modify admin GUI.

Stay tuned.
