WARNING

This is a developer version, at the time of writing it was only tested on a TS-439 and TS-509 PRO. Even though I use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it for further testing and debugging. This script is only for QNAP-devices which running debian (possibly ubuntu)(stock QNAP firmware currently not supported!).

SCOPE

This script does (should do ;-) the following:

• read input for LCD status messages from a separate helper script (see sample function library)
• display status messages on LCD panel
• auto-cycling through status messages
• non-blocking manual navigation via LCD frontpanel buttons between messages
• fully configurable input-, message-,display- cycles & timeouts

REQUIREMENTS

• QNAP device with LCD display & debian (possibly ubuntu)
• required debian packages (apt-get install): ksh
• optional debian packages (if you would like to use the distributed function library sample): hddtemp

GET STARTED

• Make this script executable (chmod 755).
• Adjust path & timeout parameters to your needs (see comments for all configurable options below)
• Rename & adjust distributed sample function library script to your needs
• Start this script ...

CHANGELOG

version 0.1: initial test release

version 0.2: fix trap/exit issues

version 0.3: fixed data refresh when lcd is off

TODO

• add back mdadm support alongside zfs
• run moar tests!
