Configurable button

A Configurable Button Plasmoid

This is a button that allows to run script when toggled (on and off scripts) and to monitor status by status script.

Installation

Install this plasmoid using plasmapkg2 --install . in the plasmoid directory.

Configuration

The plasmoid can by configured in the settings menu:

  • On Script will execute a script (can be a full path to a script or bash snippet) when toggling from off state to on. The icon will be changed to "On" icon.
  • Off Script will execute a script (can be a full path to a script or bash snippet) when toggling from on state to off. The icon will be changed to "Off" icon.
  • Status Script can be used to monitor application (or the Internet connection). The script should return 0 on success (to show "On" state), something else on error (to show "Off" state)
  • Check status on startup: Run once "Status script" on system startup
  • Run periodically: Run "Status Script" in defined interval

Example usage

Configuration to monitor internet connection (or server status)

  • Disable On and Off scripts
  • Enable Status Script on startup and to run periodically
  • set interval to your needs
  • Add status script ping -c 2 -q example.com

Configuration to start a service

  • Enable On script
  • Add On script eg: sudo systemctl start docker (assuimg this command can be run without password)
  • disable Off and Status scripts

When button will be pressed the script will be launched, if a service was started sucessfully the icon will stay green, otherwise the icon will go back to red.

Configuration to start, stop and monitor service

  • Enable everything :)

Notes

  • On script should exit with 0, otherwise icon be change to red (test it by adding On script sleep 5; exit 1)
  • Off script exit code is not taken into account
  • By default plasmoid shows red (Off) icon when started, this can be easily changed: set Status script exit 0 to run once on startup

Maybe in a future

  • tooltip with custom name
  • tooltip or dialog with output from scripts
