Dear Cygwin Users: I am looking for a method by which I can determine within a shell script whether my laptop is docked or not. Google provided some answers for Linux and Windows users, but the several ways I tried did not work out.
One Windows solution * provided a VB script that accessed a registry variable ‡, but my registry value remains the same whether or not I'm docked. The Linux solutions required either a file I don't have (/var/run/stab) or a tool that I don't have and couldn't find in a Cygwin search (acpid or lsusb). * https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/147332-how-do-you-detect-a-docking-station/ ‡ /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/IDConfigDB/CurrentDockInfo/DockingState --Ken Nellis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
