Unloading OSS

[Kaye]

Hey everyone,

I want a small script that will kill all of the processes using OSS, run soundoff, then run soundon (for me to use after I suspend).

This script seems to work for some people:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
processes=`sudo soundoff | grep ^[0-9] | gawk '{print $1}'`
for process in ${processes[@]}
do
    echo `ps  $process`
    kill $process
done

echo "restarting the oss process"
sudo soundon

But for me gives this error:

Code: Select all

jordan@jordanlaptop ~ $ /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/48oss.sh
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/48oss.sh: 7: Bad substitution

I'm not really familiar enough with bash to fix this (though I've tried!) Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Kaye

If it is supposed to be a Bash script, you have to change the header from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash.

Durrrrrrrr. Thank you for not calling me an airhead.. I kinda deserved it

Edit: One other question, is there any way for me to set this script up to run every time I wake the laptop up, or will I just have to run it manually every time? Thanks.

We make mistakes once in a while. Some times a big one while some other times, a small one but misses the eyes.
