N900 Mission Control

This page aims to document the Mission Control interface on the Nokia N900, as several things have changed since earlier versions of Maemo and previous instructions for e.g. setting presence no longer work as expected.

It is actively a work in progress as of late July / early August 2010.

Accessing osso-mission-control

mc-tool

Example scripts

Set all SIP accounts to online or offline

Requires "libmissioncontrol-utils"

/usr/bin/siponline 

#!/bin/sh
mc-tool list | grep "sofiasip" | awk {'print "mc-tool request "$1" online"'} | sh

/usr/bin/sipoffline 

#!/bin/sh
mc-tool list | grep "sofiasip" | awk {'print "mc-tool request "$1" offline"'} | sh

/usr/bin/im-connections

Simple script that will allow you to individually control each account (you must update the LIST variable with your actual accounts (get the names from "mc-tool list") - and update the menu accordingly. 

#!/bin/sh
#Change status of IM accounts on N900
LIST="haze/yahoo/your_account
haze/aim/your_account"
 
modify() {
    ACCOUNT=$1
    STATE=$2
    echo -n "setting account to $STATE: "
    /usr/bin/mc-tool request $ACCOUNT $STATE
    if [ $? = 0 ]; then
        echo "[OK]"
    else
        echo "[FAIL]"
        exit 1
    fi
    exit 0
}
 
choose() {
    ACCOUNT=$1
    echo "[1] online
[2] offline"
    echo -n "select state: "
    read STATE
    if [ "$STATE" = "1" ]; then
        modify $ACCOUNT "available"
    elif [ "$STATE" = "2" ]; then
        modify $ACCOUNT "offline"
    else 
        echo "incorrect choice"
        exit 1
    fi
