I threw together a quick little set of utilities and thought someone might want them, for what I dunno, but have fun with them. They turn the LED on the front of your workstation amber or back to green.

Code: Select all


   ledon   turn the red/amber led on (green off).
   

   ledoff  turn the red/amber led off (green on).
   

   setled  both functions in one - use setled 0 for off, settled 1 for on.

Brilliant, works a treat, my green led is dead, so now my octane looks like a Cylon! Thanks

I haven's tried it on my fuel, but it works on my tezro, although you have to be root - no error message is printed if the access is denied.

Wow fancy package.

I didn't mention that I tested this really only on my Octane2, but it should work with most workstation systems. Big Iron might not have a LED, or it might be different than the usual power light style of the workstations.

I did just try it on my Challenge S here and it worked fine. Even logged in as guest. I wouldn't be surprised if you had to be root, but at least on that machine it wasn't necessary.

The man page for syssgi doesn't mention anything specific either.

Wow! Nice! It does work for Fuel. Turns on red led in blinking mode.
