Safety Rules. Read a must.
Most commands and scripts hosted in this thread are executed as root. This means that a command (or script), if used improperly, can create new problems and not help solve old ones. And the problems are already big, before which the old ones will seem to be a mere trifle.
Therefore, before you rush to download, drive commands and execute them
1. Make a full backup of the firmware (nandroid backup).
If you do not know what it is, you are in this topic too soon. Read the help sections for newbies on the forum, the theme of the firmware of your device.
"Toy" backups, such as Titanium Backup will not help, if something terrible happens. The backup manager bu built into Android ICS and higher (used by programs like Helium) will also not always help. Do not indulge and do not be lazy, make a normal backup from under the recovery.
2. Made in paragraph 1 backup put in a safe place.
Do not delete it immediately after your experiments have ended, in your opinion, successfully. Android can have a completely different view on their success. Watch the system, live some time in it. If you see strange things, roll back to the saved state. Watch again.
By the way, backup will help and analyze what happened, if something suddenly happens. We may need files from it during the trial.
3. If you don’t understand at all what a particular script does, laid out in the subject, still try to figure it out before you use it.
For some scripts it is necessary to comply with the conditions of their execution, otherwise they will not only not work, but also do something with the system. Easily.
Surely the script as it is laid out will not suit you. You will need to "finish" it to fit your needs.
Finally, the worst (and most unlikely, but still). You can slip a script that will do something bad. And okay, if you just poudalyaet files in the system, you also completed claim 1 of the Rules. (Really? Sure? Well, believe it.) Even worse, if the script sends something to a short number in Zimbabwe. Well, there is a credit card number, for example. What credit cards do not have? Nothing SMS to the short number in Zimbabwe is not free, you know. And do not think that anything you protect the script as root will not catch any anti-virus or various security managers. Of course, we quickly intervene and stop the further spread of malware. (But specifically your SMS is gone. In Zimbabwe.)
4. Your device (phone, tablet) is not the only testing ground for your experiences.
Most of the scripts can be checked and debugged on the BB under Linux. Virtual machine and Live distribution is enough. Any Linux distribution. It will take busybox to bring such a polygon closer to the real machine, but in any Linux distribution box, busybox is present.
You can also use the Android emulator. Yes, there is a Google on the farm and such. Lies next to the SDK for Android, an image with Android can be found on the Internet. This is anyway better than killing a real device. I remind you that it cost you a certain amount. (Of course, working in the emulator you are already tired of step 1 of the Rules. You do not need to follow these rules.)
5. For debugging scripts it is better to use not a terminal emulator application, but adb (Android Debug Bridge) or ssh session From BB to the device.
Fingers will break typing characters on the virtual keyboard. Again, make a mistake, make mischief. The client part of adb (for BB) can be found on the Internet, the server part in Android already exists (do not forget to enable debugging in “Settings”). Applications with ssh server can be found on Google Play.

In a hat

To begin, I will drag my post from the Tusker theme for a better understanding of the question, what is it about, and how can I apply it.

Quote. (Large))).
From here:Tasker (Post # 23702923)

# help lesson tasker tasker example shell shell interception of hardware buttons

Example DescriptionWork shell script to intercept phone hardware buttons .

Connoisseurs of linux commands and their specifics - do not laugh.

Need root and busybox .

The text of the "lesson" under the spoiler
Full support was provided by the respectedusername11 where I sometimes just pressed buttons, following a set of his wise advice.
This example is offtopic! : D because the tasker does not participate in it. Totally. Only shell, only hardcore. An example of a working way))
Since this is just an example, everyone can drag it into many pieces and use the necessary parts in conjunction with their needs.

In general, there will be a lot of text, because I am a talker ..

Let's get down to business. Here is the resulting example, and immediately write what it does, and then parse:
(rep = 0; script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code; do torch = `cat / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness`; screen =` cat / sys / class / leds / lcd-backlight / brightness`; (echo "$ code" | grep -q '^ 0004 0004 00000004. $') && ["$ rep" = "0"] && ["$ screen" = "0"] && (torch = $ (expr 255 - $ torch); echo "$ torch">/ sys / class / leds / torch / brightness); rep = $ (expr 1 - $ rep); done)</ dev / null>/ dev / null 2>/ dev / null &

So, this line (this is ONE line) launched in the terminal, or through the Tasker Task "Run script" runs into memory (and hangs there! The terminal can be closed) and does the following: Itkeeps track of pressing the hardware button Volume Down (I think most Xperia will work, too, officially debugged under Xperia Ray) when the screen is off, and turns on (and off) the flashlight .

Let's start with the interception buttons. As the most interesting public opportunity. We must not forget here that regular phone functions that occur when you press a button, the phone caught in parallel and work out the function. So, hang only "their" poleznyashki to pressing will not work. Why do I have simplified the process of studying the interception itself the task - I just react buttons when the screen is off. When regular lock the phone does not respond to the volume button when the screen is off.

In general, it turns out beautifully: you press the volume rocker and INSTANTLY the lamp turns on, and the screen remains off.

Debugging the script, this is actually 99.9 percent of the total time spent on it, so it is much more convenient to “chat” in wired or wireless adb. Turning debugging options through the phone terminal is tiring. (there will be a lot of debugging).

Part 1. Interception. Theory.

So,intercept . Spy on pressing the buttons, we will be the program (console text program) "GetEvent", getevent . You can simply type (with root rights) in the terminal the name of the command and bewitched to look at the running lines))
# getevent
The output will begin to pour like this:
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0010 fffffed0
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0011 ffffff5a
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 000a 000003ee
/ dev / input / event7: 0000 0000 00000000
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0003 00001138
/ dev / input / event3: 0003 0000 00000006
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0004 000000d3
/ dev / input / event3: 0003 0001 00000007
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0005 000000b3
/ dev / input / event3: 0003 0002 00000078
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0000 00000028
/ dev / input / event3: 0003 0028 00000043
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0001 ffffffde
/ dev / input / event3: 0000 0000 00000000
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0002 fffffd4d
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0010 fffffecf
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 0011 ffffff60
/ dev / input / event7: 0003 000a 000003f2

in this case, events come from ALL phone devices, we need to figure out where our hardware buttons are. And to receive "interruptions" only from them, that it would be easier to process the arriving codes, and, of course, to "wake up" once more from any-each position sensor (for example) - we do not need the battery to quickly stop. (Especially, if the result of waking up then rests on the "fat" tasker).
When starting the commandgeteventat the very beginning it gives a list of all available devices and then it begins to pour in lines of events. After starting, you can quickly press Ctrl-C so that the list of devices does not leave the screen. Or you can use the '-S' command key, and the command will show all valid events and end:
# getevent -S
output of the command in my case:
add device 1: / dev / input / event8
name: "atdaemon"
add device 2: / dev / input / event1
name: "pm8058-keypad"

add device 3: / dev / input / event7
name: "compass"
add device 4: / dev / input / event6
name: "simple_remote_appkey"
add device 5: / dev / input / event5
name: "simple_remote"
add device 6: / dev / input / event4
name: "apds9702"
add device 7: / dev / input / event3
name: "bma150"
add device 8: / dev / input / event2
name: "clearpad"
add device 9: / dev / input / event0
name: "msm_pmic_pwr_key"
ff00

In this case, we are interested in the hardware buttons; it was experimentally found out that this devicepm8058-keypad, i.e. device path '/ dev / input / event1'. Behind this, we study the components of event providers. (and there is both a compass, and separately a power button, and a touch screen ..).
Now you can narrow the request to the system to the target. The fact is that on different devices these eventN are all different. In what order they are programmed by the manufacturer, so they are shown. (I mean, it’s not possible to copy the lines here, I’ll have to look for it myself for my phone).
So / dev / input / event1 ..
# getevent / dev / input / event1
(and in the console silence .. :) duck buttons must be pressed! I have three of them: a house, and two volumes). For each press and for each release, we get a pack of codes. To press one, to release - another:
one press and one release of the Volume Down button
Yes, these are the packs oneveryact!
0004 0004 00000004
0001 0072 00000001
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 0000000c
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 00000014
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 0000001c
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 00000024
0000 0000 00000000

0004 0004 00000024
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 00000004
0001 0072 00000000
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 0000000c
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 00000014
0000 0000 00000000
0004 0004 0000001c
0000 0000 00000000

So the system (and we pry for the real codes that the system handles) distinguishes between pressing, pressing, and also __ pressing if there are any. That is, if you catch the "Long Volume Down" - then this is all handles, you first detect the pressure yourself, and what was the pause before release, well, before holding, yes. And only then cause your action. I haven’t reached my hands yet, but there is such a key '-t' - to show the time stamps of each flown code.

Having pushed all my three buttons)) I came to the conclusion thatsufficiency in my particular casecatching the code '0004 0004 00000004', although it happens in the press and in the release, but we will catch and take this into account.

username11 writes that the first action line serves the real action code (clicks, messing around the sensor, some other sensor), and the rest is the "echo of the system" for the first action - some, as I understand it, generating already "soft" additional codes for other system traps. What would happen in another desired process also triggered by the action. In addition: by my Logically, bundle codes of zeros are the completion of the "description" of the code. That is, each zero ('0000 0000 00000000') is the end of the logical "string" of the event. In any case, this is a lire., You can’t sew it down, but you’ll have to catch codes))

So, I chose to catch the Volume Down button with just one line of code '0004 0004 00000004', which is unique within the pm8058-keypad (/ dev / input / event1) device.
Next comes the teamreadin the mix with the teamwhile, in this form:

formalized:"data entry | while read var1; do [our line-by-line processing]; done"

analysis:
data inputin this case, it is our data provider, "getevent / dev / input / event1"
vertical stickthis is redirection of console output (what we see as lines appearing after the getevent command) to another command for processing further. (yes, I write for those boots like me)).
while reada set of commands that do the following:while("bye") provides us with an infinite loop of reading the lines "from under" the getevent, andread("read") each line of the form '0004 0004 0000001c' pushes through the variables of the shell, whose names are indicated after the word 'read'.
For example. The command "enter_data | while read dev code" the first "word" BEFORE THE DIVIDER (we have this space) will put in a variabledev, and the rest of the tail (until the end of the line) in the variablecode. (We will then call $ dev and $ code in the shell in the shell values). And they will be equal to dev = '0004', code = '0004 0000001c'. And if we say three variables: "input_data | while read dev code1 code2", then our example, given to the input of the command, it spreads like this: dev = '0004', code1 = '0004', code2 = '0000001c'. Truth be?
I myself came to the local conclusion thatto meIt's easier to catch the ALL string ('0004 0004 00000004') in one variable, that is, I have it 'while read code'. And one variable $ code is already compared to the desired value.

All that follows the semicolon (semicolon, so to speak) after the commandread, this is the command for processing the result of "pushing" _each_ lines with codes arriving fromgetevent.

Local output: That is, we ordered interrupts from the event1 device, hardware buttons, and everything, everything is "hanging" and inactive. The system is sleeping. Pressing the button (any) awakens the system (it works itself) and sends it to getevent a stack of lines with the event that occurred. We scatter the resulting lines with while read on the components and leave for further processing each lines separately, comparing, whether this is ours, the required line, or not. And then we launch the combat load, perform some kind of action (turn on the flashlight, like me, or call the tasker task right away). (Basically, here is the whole solution). But, about it all in due time, more low, for now the whole series of ambushes waited for me:

Part 2. Workarounds. The first encounter with practice.

Immediately after I rushed into battle, nothing worked for me. Simple verification team:
# getevent / dev / input / event1 | while read code; do echo $ code; done
.. did not show anything!
(the meaning of the command: we get fromgeteventarray of strings usingwhile read variabledragging the array into strings and just in each cycle with the commandechowe derivevaluevariable (the bucks icon in front of the name), in this case, the entire line in one gulp, it is in a single variablecode).

Miraculously, I discovered that it shows the result, if you press the button many times. It turned out the following. On the "stick" is buffering! That is, redirecting data flow from undergeteventit works, of course, but the system buffers the data - it collects them in a heap and gives it away only after accumulating a certain amount, apparently about 4k. ANDusername11 gives the following advice: take the bizybox command script and frame it with the above line. As I understand, script tells the system to know the "output device" as (conditionally) tty, not a block device. And pushing every byte through the "stick" immediately, without waiting for the accumulation of the full buffer.
That is, the following verification team has worked well:
# script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code1 code2 code3; do echo "code1: $ code1, code2: $ code2, code3: $ code3"; done
(Yes,conclusionteamsscripthad to remember to lower intoilet/ dev / null)
(this example displays, when pressing buttons, bundles of strings of the form: "code1: 0004, code2: 0004, code3: 00000004" is no longer slouching too deeply, IMMEDIATELY after pressing, without putting anything in the drawer).

However, it is time to parse the results of clicks and screenings that are needed, it was absolutely fresh for me)) This resulted, after many days (unhurried) study of the Internet of man-faks-havtushek, into the following:
# script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code1 code2 code3; do ["$ code1" = "0004" -a "$ code2" = "0004" -a "$ code3" = "00000004"] && echo "code1: $ code1, code2: $ code2, code3: $ code3"; done
(the line is already "wow", yes. So, what I do is: tear each line into three parts, code1-3, and then compare successively the valuecode1from 0004, and so on, and as a result I bring out the result ONLY to the pressure I need (the && sign indicates that the commandechowill be executed only if the whole comparison is performed in square brackets)).
DOES NOT WORK! ((
I again to the authorities. (moreover, as I later found out in the process of sorting through various options, the first two comparisons work! plugging in the third). For a long time I pooped until I was instructed on the command of cognitive data output:
# script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null |od -cb
(it displays the byte values ​​of the text in different formats, well, like line 12345 will look like 31 32 33 34 35). And right after it was discovered that at the end, behind the last 00000004, apart from the regular Linux sign, the line break 0D was still worried (completely DOSovsky) 0A. And of coursewhile readlawfully shoves him into the last variable, in my case incode3. And we have a comparison before the sign, if at the end of the line the left tail, the comparison does not work.
The chief offered me (already on the verge of my understanding of the Linux com line) options for this next round, I stopped at this:
here are the first checks]&& echo "$ code3" | grep -q '^ 00000004. $' && echo "code1: $ code1 (and at the end went output via echo )
Earned!
(as I understood, search for a string throughgrepwith the key '-q' gives the value true / false in ourdupea cascade of double ampersands && for comparing the comparison logic. Circumflex and buck with a point are already OUT the limits of my understanding, but I believe that this is a search from the beginning of the line and the omission of an arbitrary end, the one that stuck out of the signs 0D and 0A).

Thus, a complete search for my sequence (recall, '0004 0004 000000004') WITHOUT a combat load, began to look like this:
(codeI again, pampered with splitting the line into pieces, made a heap, still I still have one full-line code)
# script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code; do echo "$ code" | grep -q '^ 0004 0004 00000004. $' && echo "code: $ code"; done
(and threw out the square brackets, still the main result givesgrep)
Here, the first result. In the terminal, one line is displayed for pressing the button I need, and one for pressing. Nothing is displayed on the other buttons. You can screw on / off the lamp!

Part 3. Flashlight. Long road in the dunes.

Well, here I am still decently lost my head, the Chief suggested how easier it is to make a "switch" on the command line, from 0 to 1 and back, the _one_ command. (as I asked: "how to make xor ax, 1"))) It turned out:a = $ (expr 1 - $ a).

I knew in advance the "variable" of the flashlight, for me (I think, at all xperias as well) it is / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness. A value of 0 does not shine, 255 - shines. (and all intermediate from 3 to 255 work, but yes, the flashlight is beautifully smoothly turned on, and as I wrote a binary on C for the android right on the phone, this is a separate tale)).
I also needed to find whether the screen is currently on or not, because getting control at the pointecho code: $ codeI resolutely (so far) did not imagine what was happening with the screen. And if it is on, this is a regular system volume change, and at this moment it is not necessary to turn on the flashlight.
Climbing, I found. Beside. / sys / class / leds / lcd-backlight / brightness too, 0-255, or something. At least the turned off screen is "0", turned on - NOT zero.

Iiii .. I gash. The full script you saw at the beginning. Oh, no, that's not all)))

Part 4. The last ambush

Eventuallyusername11 taught me to frame everything with brackets, behind which to write a single ampersand, &. A sign that the script should remain hanging in the memory of the system, remain a resident. And give control to the command line. And then there was the last ambush - it is worth filling the script with a resident, he stopped working! So it works, but the resident does not! As it turned out after the command ps (a list of all processes), that my script is in memory is hanging, but it wants I / O, (I didn’t find what the "wants" command is), so the system slows it down and doesn’t give it anything.
As a result, I had to write at the end to solve this problem (another, last, crutch)):
# (all my strip)</ dev / null>/ dev / null 2>/ dev / null &
(that is, all the eager to communicate before the floor in the toilet).

Now it all worked.

Repeat))
# (rep = 0; script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code; do torch = `cat / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness`; screen =` cat / sys / class / leds / lcd-backlight / brightness`; (echo "$ code" | grep -q '^ 0004 0004 00000004. $') && ["$ rep" = "0"] && ["$ screen" = "0"] && (torch = $ (expr 255 - $ torch); echo "$ torch">/ sys / class / leds / torch / brightness); rep = $ (expr 1 - $ rep); done)</ dev / null>/ dev / null 2>/ dev / null &
What I do in the script:
- binary switch initial for catching and unlocking
- after while read we fall into the main analysis, that for the line arrived
- I read the current value of the lamp
- I read the current value of the screen
- and further a large condition, concatenated by && from the conditions:
- this is our code
- this is a click (and not release)
- the screen is off
- inversion value lantern
and combat load:
- write a new value of the lamp (if it was turned off - turns on and vice versa)
- inversion of the push-release switch value.

Homework from username11 I haven't done it yet ((, but here it is:
1) find out who wants I / O and eliminate.
2) remove unnecessary parentheses. every brackets is an extra shell running in cascade.

Findings.

There is no takker here, as you can see. Having coped with half of this case, the absence of a tasker was already a matter of a prince)) why? when everything is "shell" and easy. A huge durilnya-tasker spoil all the beauty. And for what? Blink flashlight?

Tasker, in theory, as the Chief wrote repeatedly, should be called througham broadcastin the "body" of the warhead.

Responsibility of the parties.

Perhaps this is not what the masses have been waiting for)) but in any case, something useful can be learned.
Any tips, edits, possible future _Applications_ to this post, removal of the crumbler, homework decisions are being decidedly accepted!

We monitor different resources for connection , eg, block devices , team:
# inotifyd - / dev / block
// the shell is “hung up” on this command, and at the time of connecting to the usb otg flash drives it produces such a thing:
n / dev / block sda
e / dev / block sda
n / dev / block sda4
e / dev / block sda4

disassemble it (awk, or as above on a bare shell, into parts, and “auto” - mount the necessary devices)
# mount / dev / block / sda / mnt / usbcard
# umount / mnt / usbcard
When ripping out a flash drive, the lines also fly in, and we react to them.

I will clarify. This was an example of a command for a resident script (no reaction yet). That is, it starts at the start of the android, and hangs until the bodies are cut down. And CAM does various useful things.
And all this is not in C ++, not in “Tasker” and others ... - on a bare shell.

And we do not need any usb otg mount in the form of an android application, if there is no such thing on the phone.

Styl script from a respectedlaytya without permission:

logcat -c; script -q -c 'logcat -s VxTTS_ProxyI: V' / dev / null | awk '/ start / {system ( "am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK -e task_name tts_start")}; / Completed / {system ( "am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK -e task_name tts_stop")} '1>/ dev / null &


What the script does: Script hangs and monitor system log to messages from VxTTS service (this is the text reader in voice, vocalizer), and catches in the answers the substring start or completed and responds to it in the appropriate way.

What is useful: in the system log runs a lot of useful information, you can catch it and do your things at certain moments.
Learn:
1) read from logcata ,
2) restrict reading to the service we need in a particular case, because the catlog sharashit is almost continuous. And then he "hangs" and does not wake the phone, and the lines take off only in the case.
3) catch lines avcom (filter out the entire information from the TTS service only we need) and then call out some of our actions. (in this case, a specific Tasker task is invoked).

As i seeschemes for using such things in general:
(and yes, it should be noted, many things are model-dependent, many parameters are unique for sonecs, samsungs, and so on)

1) looking for ways to monitor the parameter of interest
2) minimize phone battery consumption
3) process text streams
4) implement the necessary actions (reaction) on the shell, or by calling intent programs for Android. (popularly “activity”).

A hypothetical example ...
Some Chinese tablet phone doesn’t like us to stubbornly (or on the contrary, quench) the screen during a call. A fix - no way.
We draw a script. It is possible to turn on Tasker, but it can be done without.
We catch through the catlog the fact of lifting the tube | In the polling mode (in the loop), we kick the screen so that it does not go out | At the end of the call, we again go into monitoring mode, and we sleep.
I understand crazy, but in principle ..

Problems:
We also did not figure out how to catch long button presses (see the example above). But still ahead!

What else can we do?
The guys in the Tasker branch are already easily catching keystrokes on the BT keyboard. (for “debugging” of this case right in the branch from there and “asked”)))) So, we’ll welcome it here.

The thing is that binaries and their bizybox counterparts often do not behave as easily as in native Linux, hence the specific nature of this.

For example, I still do not enjoy my flashlight, ignited with one touch of one physical button. Almost instantly. Here I am in favor of such decisions.
Come up with tasks. Bring your work.

Not. On the contrary, your offer reminds. : D Compare the sizes of busybox (with inotifyd) and python. And it will almost all be in memory. If for busybox there are still chances that the kernel will not load all the code, then for the python interpreter, whose code is data, the chances are almost zero.
In addition, what are udev and dbus under different Androids? Uh-uh, different. And dismantling with udev (and, especially, with dbus) is clearly not a single line in python, even with pudev.
inotifyd is the same "sanctified" monitoring mechanism. Same unix, here one problem can be solved successfully a bunch of ways.
I am also not against the choice of the tool "which you know / like you and which exists for the bucket". But programs from several lines are better for writing on the shell. That's when the lines are typed a lot, yes, it is better to start to look in the direction of python.
Something like this...
Unfortunately, give a heap of people a ready decision, to understand how it works and what works - they are lazy.

You do not worry. According to the experience of the Tasker theme, no one here will chew much. : D

I have a question on avku ..
1) How can I read a variable file in the avk-script?
That is, how to replace the shell:
torch = `cat / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness`

2) and how to write a variable to a file?
I decided to transfer my flashlight script from the "read while" shell under awk.

Along the way, I found a unique pressing code and a unique release with a fresh look. and got rid ofrep(for those who are "in the subject").
The piece looks like (on the shell) like this:
(script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | while read code; do torch = `cat / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness`; screen =` cat / sys / class / leds / lcd-backlight / brightness`; (echo "$ code" | grep -q '^ 0001 0072 00000001. $') && ["$ screen" = "0"] && (torch = $ (expr 255 - $ torch ); echo "$ torch">/ sys / class / leds / torch / brightness); done)</ dev / null>/ dev / null 2>/ dev / null &
and I read off under the hardware, and gave birth to the trap of the sequence I needed:
script -q -c 'getevent / dev / input / event1' / dev / null | awk '{if ($ 1 == "0001" && $ 2 == "0072" && $ 3 == "00000001") print $ 1, $ 2, $ 3; } '
she works. The code is displayed only when the button I need is pressed. (printThis is still a test).

but how to subtract variablesscreenandtorchI don't know yet. How to do it more "awk'ovski"?
In fact, this is reading the file from the avk-script, yes. Well, one record at the end. I understand that it is possible and throughsystem ("echo" $ torch ">/ sys / class / leds / torch / brightness ")- but this is stupid? not?

Still gave birth to a clever idea that parsing in avkovskiy if'e can be flattened up to one comparison, and not concatenated three - change the parameter avka "element separator" by putting there "\ n" - is it necessary to do so, in terms of simplicity / processing speed?
then there will be onlyif ($ 1 == "0001 0072 00000001")

About awk. I still do not understand why you need it :)
awk - '/ 0001 0072 00000001 / {print}'

But if you want to start something easier
grep '0001 0072 00000001' && command
Well, or so if exactly db. line
grep '^ 0001 0072 00000001 $' && command
^ start, $ end of line
coolkaas understand a few simple things:
1. Unix has a lot of simplest utilities and you need to use the most convenient one.
2. All utilities are combined with pipes.
Well, the banal
any problem has an infinite number of solutions. It's a matter of taste

So for example.
cat / sys / class / leds / torch / brightness | awk ...> file

No need to open the file for input in awk. Use stdin
No need to open file for output use>
And combine all the utilities
In 2 words hard to explain - will come with experience

coolkaas Thanks, the topic is very necessary! ;)
The mind itself is not enough, so I like smart people, such asusername11 and svs-57 ...: rolleyes:

There is a task, you need to compare the output of the channel with the contents of the file and get a match, if there is one. In one line of the script, without organizing the loop in Tasker.
There is a file /sdcard/AudioPlayer.txt in it the names of the stock player packages and Poweramp (the player will be added as needed):
com.sec.android.app.music
com.maxmpz.audioplayer

In the background plays Poweramp, perform:
dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2
I get:
com.android.systemui
com.maxmpz.audioplayer
com.drweb.pro.market
com.viber.voip

perform:
dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | grep -f /sdcard/AudioPlayer.txt
I get:
com.maxmpz.audioplayer
those. it seems to work ...

In the background playing stock player Music, perform:
dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2
I get:
com.sec.android.app.music
com.android.systemui
com.drweb.pro.market
com.viber.voip

perform:
dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | grep -f /sdcard/AudioPlayer.txt
I get nothing :(
Why, I can not understand.

In general, I need to get 1 (one) if any player from the AudioPlayer.txt file plays in the background or 0 if there are no matches.
If you specify "grep com.sec.android.app.music" and run:
grep -c $ (dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | grepcom.maxmpz.audioplayer ) /sdcard/AudioPlayer.txt
then when working in the background Poweramp I get 1.
But if Poweramp is not in the background, then instead of 0 (zero) I get the hanging process of the script, i.e. no completion.
Similarly with the stock player ...
grep -c $ (dumpsys statusbar | grep StatusBarNotification | awk '{print $ 2}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | grepcom.sec.android.app.music ) /sdcard/AudioPlayer.txt

And in this case, it will be necessary to organize a cycle and sort through the package names, which is highly undesirable ...

The same should be organized on navigators, the package names of which are registered in the file /sdcard/Navigators.txt, only in it is somewhat different:
Yandex Maps, ru.yandex.yandexmaps, ru.yandex.yandexmaps.MapActivity;
Yandex Navigator, ru.yandex.yandexnavi, ru.yandex.yandexnavi.core.NavigatorActivity;
Navitel Navigator, com.navitel, com.navitel.Navitel;
Navitel Navigator, com.navitelnavigator, com.navitelnavigator.Navitel;
Rambler Maps, ru.rambler.maps, com.cdcom.naviapps.progorod.ProGorod;
Google Maps, com.google.android.apps.maps, com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity;
Sygic Aura, com.sygic.aura, com.sygic.aura.SygicNaviActivity;
CityGuide Navigator, cityguide.probki.net, cityguide.probki.net.CityGuide;
iGO Primo, com.navngo.igo.javaclient, com.navngo.igo.javaclient.MainActivity;
PROGOROD Navigator, com.cdcom.naviapps.progorod, com.cdcom.naviapps.progorod.ProGorod;
2GIS, dublgis.dgismobile, dublgis.dgismobile.GrymMobileActivity;
Waze Navigator, com.waze, com.waze.FreeMapAppActivity;
Seven Roads, com.navikey.seven_ways, com.navikey.seven_ways.MainActivity


In Tasker, I parse it all into arrays and process it in a loop, and it takes a lot of CPU time.

Nfc666 Vobschem write that now as before just will not work (I have 4.1 android). As an option, you can add your own simple service, where to write a simple function: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1424342...vel-11/18582576
I decided the skin is not worth the dressing - I thought to use a buffer to associate the analysis of pressing the button in the command line and the action in the tasker (through the variable% clip). I decided and made a file change tracking (I will write a log to the file, at the same time the tasker will see).
At first, I thought I would pass the parameter, so there is more flexibility and possibilities, but something wasn’t set with the clipboard (no, everything is different from the tasker ...) - I don’t leave any attempts.
So in such a way I inform the tasker only that I pressed the button.
Now I will add several buttons before reading, it seems that I will have to make a file on each button - not very elegant.
There is also a task for action after several taps or combinations of buttons, but I think this is not a problem. The benefit of the android-radio tape recorder sees only 2 buttons on the steering wheel ... (although this is probably not good)

I do not know what the 46 is in the example, but 82 and 83 are seconds, and the rest is either Linux tact or (roughly) microseconds. Not the point. This is enough for us. From here and dance.
Theory : Catchin avke code itself(no, first we catch svs-57 He washed down the right, we catch))), catch code (squeezing, pressing) - I so do press is unique (the second line in a pack), me and the filter is not necessary. Vertan to $ 1, or as it is right there in avke where "time" is shorter. And compares the current of this press with _otkachennym_ time from the previous pressing (also in variable tsklicheskom our script lives), calculate the difference (taking into account all the "transitions" / cranking numbers through zero), [roll away the new (current) time peremennuyu- rollback] if _raznitsa_ less than a certain number (pick up on the fact) - a double tap (two consecutive pressing-squeezing), for example, within seconds. Otherwise (time more than a second) - are two separate click.
Bad luck (( : you still need to somehow note the time And after any pressing, in order to understand that it is a single one, someone should fly to us “in a blue helicopter” in a second and say that time has ticked, and as we are, the state machine decide where we are and take note of this tick.
Well, I found an example))
TIMELIMIT = 4 # 4 seconds
read -t $ TIMELIMIT variable

echo
if [-z "$ variable"] # Is null?
then
echo "Timed out, variable still unset."
else
echo "variable = $ variable"
fi

Chew for yourself-boots:
- we put the desired timeout in the variable in seconds,
- call the construction "read -t $ our_timeout"
- from (our future infinite)while readin now we will fall out anyway! even if no buttons are pressed,
- now we have to check for what reason we fell out - the button or the end of the charged timeout,
- if our variable is zero - timeout,
- if not zero - button.

username11,
Um, the question of the boot, again .. And where to draw this "-t" - mostly "infinite"while read? ETOGH he constantly bomb us and will, right? (interrupts). even if we do not “recharge” the tick variable .. or just by pressing start a “separate” wait cycle (timer or release - what's ahead).
