#!/bin/bash # lightsOn.sh # Copyright (c) 2011 iye.cba at gmail com # url: https://github.com/iye/lightsOn # This script is licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 or above # Description: Bash script that prevents the screensaver and display power # management (DPMS) to be activated when you are watching Flash Videos # fullscreen on Firefox and Chromium. # Can detect mplayer and VLC when they are fullscreen too but I have disabled # this by default. # lightsOn.sh needs xscreensaver, kscreensaver or gnome-screensaver to work. # HOW TO USE: Start the script with the number of seconds you want the checks # for fullscreen to be done. Example: # "./lightsOn.sh 120 &" will Check every 120 seconds if Mplayer, # VLC, Firefox or Chromium are fullscreen and delay screensaver and Power Management if so. # You want the number of seconds to be ~10 seconds less than the time it takes # your screensaver or Power Management to activate. # If you don't pass an argument, the checks are done every 50 seconds. # Modify these variables if you want this script to detect if Mplayer, # VLC or Firefox Flash Video are Fullscreen and disable # xscreensaver/kscreensaver/gnome-screensaver and PowerManagement. mplayer_detection=0 vlc_detection=0 firefox_flash_detection=1 chromium_flash_detection=1 html5_detection=1 #checks if the browser window is fullscreen; will disable the screensaver if the browser window is in fullscreen so it doesn't work correctly if you always use the browser (Firefox or Chromium) in fullscreen # YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO MODIFY ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE # enumerate all the attached screens displays="" while read id do displays="$displays $id" done< <(xvinfo | sed -n 's/^screen #\([0-9]\+\)$/\1/p') # Detect screensaver been used (xscreensaver, kscreensaver, gnome-screensaver or none) if [ `pgrep -l xscreensaver | grep -wc xscreensaver` -ge 1 ];then screensaver=xscreensaver elif [ `pgrep -l gnome-screensav | grep -wc gnome-screensav` -ge 1 ];then screensaver=gnome-screensav elif [ `pgrep -l kscreensaver | grep -wc kscreensaver` -ge 1 ];then screensaver=kscreensaver else screensaver=None echo "No screensaver detected" fi checkFullscreen() { # loop through every display looking for a fullscreen window for display in $displays do #get id of active window and clean output activ_win_id=`DISPLAY=:0.${display} xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW` #activ_win_id=${activ_win_id#*# } #gives error if xprop returns extra ", 0x0" (happens on some distros) activ_win_id=${activ_win_id:40:9} # Skip invalid window ids (commented as I could not reproduce a case # where invalid id was returned, plus if id invalid # isActivWinFullscreen will fail anyway.) #if [ "$activ_win_id" = "0x0" ]; then # continue #fi # Check if Active Window (the foremost window) is in fullscreen state isActivWinFullscreen=`DISPLAY=:0.${display} xprop -id $activ_win_id | grep _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN` if [[ "$isActivWinFullscreen" = *NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN* ]];then isAppRunning var=$?
