Spacestatus

This program returns the current state of your hackerspace by using the space.api.

Usage

./spacestatus.py <YourSpaceName>

Example:

./spacestatus.py turmlabor

This will give return-status 0 if your Space is open, if your space is closed it will return 1.

Optional Parameters:

• -d or --debug print debugging informations

ToDo

1. error handling

• implement older spaceapi-Versions
• make spacenames case insensitive

Example in using

As indicator for i3status in i3wm I use this script to indicate the status of my hackerspace:

#! /bin/sh
i3status | (read line && echo $line && read line && echo $line && while :
do
  read line
  color="#FF0000"
  python $HOME/bin/spacestatus.py turmlabor &> /dev/null
  if [ $? -eq "0" ]; then
  color="#00FF00"
  fi
  dat="[{ \"color\": \"${color}\", \"full_text\": \"Turmlabor\" },"
  echo "${line/[/$dat}" || exit 1
done)

Place this script into your $HOME/bin and in your i3config set the status_command to this script.
