I use my phone as a pager when I'm on-call at work. The Pre's notification tone is way too short and quiet to wake me up. Here's a script that will nag you by playing a .wav file every minute while you have unread messages. The latest version also vibrates and blinks the LEDs.
Prerequisites
Script code
#!/bin/sh
SOUND=/media/internal/ringtones/pager.wav
LIGHT=1
BUZZ=1
check() {
cmd='SELECT summary FROM com_palm_messaging_data_ChatThread WHERE unreadCount > 0 AND type = "SMS" AND summary != "";'
output=$(echo $cmd|sqlite3 /var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3 2> /dev/null) || return 0
if [ -n "$output" ] ; then
return 1
fi
}
play() {
x=0
until [ "$x" = 4 ] ; do
aplay -q "$SOUND" &
y=1
if [ "$BUZZ" = 1 ] ; then
/usr/bin/luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.vibrate/vibrate {\"period\":1,\"duration\":1000\} > /dev/null 2>&1
z=10
else
z=12
fi
if [ "$LIGHT" = 1 ] ; then
until [ "$y" = "$z" ] ; do
sleep 1
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_left/brightness
echo 100 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_center/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_right/brightness
sleep 1
echo 80 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_left/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_center/brightness
echo 80 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_right/brightness
sleep 1
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_left/brightness
echo 60 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_center/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_right/brightness
sleep 1
echo 40 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_left/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_center/brightness
echo 40 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_right/brightness
sleep 1
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_left/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_center/brightness
echo 00 >/sys/class/leds/core_navi_right/brightness
check
if [ "$?" = 1 ] ; then
y=$((y+1))
else
exit 0
fi
done
x=$((x + 1))
else
sleep 60
check
if [ "$?" = 1 ] ; then
x=$((x + 1))
else
exit 0
fi
fi
done
}
if [ ! -f "$SOUND" ] ; then
SOUND=/usr/palm/sounds/alert.wav
fi
check || play
Installation
- Copy a .wav file to /media/internal/ringtones/pager.wav (or to the ringtones directory in USB mode).
mkdir -p /opt/scripts
- Copy the script to /opt/scripts/pager.
chmod +x /opt/scripts/pager rootfs_open -w
- Add the following line to /etc/cron/crontabs/root:
*/5 * * * * /opt/scripts/pager
Remember to copy a .wav file to /media/internal/ringtones/pager.wav.
To Do/Bugs
As the message is marked read in the database when it is closed, the sound will continue to play every minute until the messaging app is closed (or until that chat card is closed if you've done the Create a new card for each conversation mod).
Acknowledgments
Thanks to Sargun for the tracking script which inspired the layout of the code, as well as started me looking at the databases.
This is great thanks!!
