Thank you very much for this software, its great.

Would like to be able to use the LEDs on Alix boards.

This board is a perfect fit for Zeroshell so far. It makes DIY router/firewall/Stable AP a breeze.

OpenWRT has a patch that drives the LEDs but one has to write a script to use the LEDs for now.

Hi!

We are using the alixled program for accessing the LEDs. It is available under

http://linux.1wt.eu/alix/util/alixled/

Best regards,

I didn't write the software, just provided the link ;-)

When you start alixled without arguments, it shows a short
usage description:

Quote:
[...]
Usage:
- alixled led1|led2|led3|all on|off|toggle|state [debug]
- alixled switch state [debug]


Up to now I've only usedl "alixled led1 on" or "alixled 2 off", depending on the state
of the device. Here is a short example that sets the state of the first LED to on or
off, depending on the online state of the device

Code:

[Perform an online check, e.g. with wget]
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  [path to alixled] led1 on
else
  [path to alixled] led1 off
fi


Regards,

Albert Brandl
