Killswitch

Hello there,

just a short post. I wrote an initscript which can save and restore rfkill switches softstates, as some systems tend to reset them on boot. I also included a toggle feature for software buttons to switch all radio on and off.

Feel free to use it if you like. Ubuntu has included something like this in their rfkill package already. Sadly this does not regard dependencies in these switches as they occur in the Thinkpad E320 I bought. So this is one of a few scripts I will publish here.

If you like them, pls share this post on twitter etc. I would also appreciate your input on this.

EDIT:

Version 1.0.1

• Thanks to Mu, who reported a minor bug theres a fix included in the next version.
• Removed all debug output in favour of clean output.
• The script has been improved to show status messages (aka eyecandy) integrated with lsb
