Harmattan-dev is down again. Welcome to the world of Nokia.
You can have a look at the Freedesktop XDG reference documentation to get an idea of things (and check against your n9).
Worked for me and for BWizz

In your exec field you can have it as Exec=/home/user/kill.sh

with kill.sh contents being:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

1=cutetube
2=openvideoplayer
3=fennec

if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$1" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$1"`
fi
if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$2" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$2"`
fi
if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$3" > /dev/null
then
kill `pgrep -f "$3"`
fi
Of course use top to check if those are the process names exactly first

I got it working with desktop file.

But if theres way to add message displayed on script I will use script.

Hi,

I'm trying to put a script together for a desktopfile that turns standby screen on/off.
The idea is to have an icon in home screen that switches between the regular standby screen with clock, notifications and billboard and a blank black one.
In settings>phone>display> there is an option to turn standby screen off, but I wonder if it is really disabling it or just sets it to blank.
A notification via dbus (like tortoisedoc suggested) to display if its active or passive would be nice.
As you can guess from my name, I'm not into Linux at all.

So far I only have some breadcrumbs of code, so please help putting this right.
Here's what I have in mind:

LPSswitch.desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=LPSswitch
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/LPSswitch.png
Exec=/home/user/LPSswitch.sh

LPSswitch.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if {standby screen on}
then {kill com.nokia.systemui.ScreenLock}
and {dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.meego.core.MNotificationManager /notificationmanager com.meego.core.MNotificationManager.addNotification uint32:0 uint32:0 string:'device' string:'' string:'standby screen off' string:'' string:'icon-m-toolbar-done' uint32:0}

if {standby screen off}
then {exec com.nokia.systemui.ScreenLock}
and {dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.meego.core.MNotificationManager /notificationmanager com.meego.core.MNotificationManager.addNotification uint32:0 uint32:0 string:'device' string:'' string:'standby screen on' string:'' string:'icon-m-toolbar-done' uint32:0}

I can't wait to get this to work. I will then put up a new thread and present it like an app.

Thank you.

Win7Mac,

Are you sure that's the process name?

Get your process name and the below is something you can use; in the below example PROCESS_NAME should be replaced with your process name:

Code:

SERVICE=PROCESS_NAME

if ps -ae | grep -v grep | grep "$SERVICE" > /dev/null
then
        kill `pgrep -f "$SERVICE"`
        dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.meego.core.MNotificationManager/notificationmanager com.meego.core.MNotificationManager.addNotification uint32:0 uint32:0 string:'device' string:'' string:"Standby Screen Off" string:'' string:'' uint32:0
else
        "$SERVICE" &
        dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.meego.core.MNotificationManager/notificationmanager com.meego.core.MNotificationManager.addNotification uint32:0 uint32:0 string:'device' string:'' string:"Standby Screen On" string:'' string:'' uint32:0

fi

No, it's only what sounded the most likely...

From here.

Ah that's a dbus service not a process name; i know very little of dbus; someone else needs to share their knowledge here...
