# Exec Binding
|
||||
|
||||
This binding integrates the possibility to execute arbitrary shell commands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Things
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the binding supports a single type of Thing, being the `command` Thing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Binding Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
For security reasons all commands need to be whitelisted.
|
||||
Allowed commands need to be added to the `misc/exec.whitelist` file in the configuration directory.
|
||||
Every command needs to be on a separate line.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
/bin/echo "Hello world!"
|
||||
/usr/local/bin/apcaccess status
|
||||
php ./configurations/scripts/script.php %2$s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux:**
|
||||
Note that the commands are executed in the context and with the privileges of the process running the Java Virtual Machine.
|
||||
On a Linux system the system user `openhab` needs to have the privileges needed to execute your intended command.
|
||||
It is advised to test the correct operation of the command in the scope of the `openhab` user on the command line first:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo -u openhab <YOUR COMMAND>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is not advised to run the virtual machine as superuser/root.
|
||||
|
||||
## Thing Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The "command" Thing requires the command to execute on the shell.
|
||||
Optionally one can specify:
|
||||
|
||||
- `transform` - A [transformation](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/transformations.html) to apply on the execution result string.
|
||||
- `interval` - An interval, in seconds, the command will be repeatedly executed. Default is 60 seconds, set to 0 to avoid automatic repetition.
|
||||
- `timeout` - A time-out, in seconds, the execution of the command will time out, and lastly,
|
||||
- `autorun` - A boolean parameter to make the command execute immediately every time the input channel is sent a different openHAB command. If choosing autorun, you may wish to also set `interval=0`. Note that sending the same command a second time will not trigger execution.
|
||||
|
||||
For each shell command, a separate Thing has to be defined.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
Thing exec:command:uniquename [command="/command/to/execute here", interval=15, timeout=5, autorun=false]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `command` itself can be enhanced using the well known syntax of the [Java formatter class syntax](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax).
|
||||
The following parameters are automatically added:
|
||||
|
||||
- the current date (as java.util.Date, example: `%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td`)
|
||||
- the current (or last) command to the input channel (see below, example: `%2$s`)
|
||||
|
||||
note - if you trigger execution using interval or the run channel, the `%2` substitution will use the most recent command (if there has been one) sent to the input channel. The state of the Item linked to input channel is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Channels
|
||||
|
||||
All Things support the following channels:
|
||||
|
||||
| Channel Type ID | Item Type | Description |
|
||||
|-----------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| input | String | Input parameter to provide to the command |
|
||||
| output | String | Output of the last execution of the command |
|
||||
| exit | Number | The exit value of the last execution of the command |
|
||||
| run | Switch | Send ON to execute the command, the current state tells whether it is running or not |
|
||||
| lastexecution | DateTime | Time/Date the command was last executed, in yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ format |
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimal Example
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.things**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
Thing exec:command:apc [command="/usr/local/bin/apcaccess status", interval=15, timeout=5]
|
||||
Thing exec:command:myscript [command="php ./configurations/scripts/script.php %2$s", transform="REGEX((.*?))"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.items**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
String APCRaw "[%s]" (All) {channel="exec:command:apc:output"}
|
||||
Switch APCRunning {channel="exec:command:apc:run"}
|
||||
Number APCExitValue "[%d]" {channel="exec:command:apc:exit"}
|
||||
DateTime APCLastExecution {channel="exec:command:apc:lastexecution"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Full Example
|
||||
|
||||
Following is an example how to set up an exec command thing, pass it a parameter, debug it with a rule and set the returned string to an Number Item.
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.things**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// "%2$s" will be replace by the input channel command, this makes it possible to use one command line with different arguments.
|
||||
// e.g: "ls" as <YOUR COMMAND> and "-a" or "-l" as additional argument sent to the input channel in the rule.
|
||||
Thing exec:command:yourcommand [ command="<YOUR COMMAND> %2$s", interval=0, autorun=false ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.items**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
Switch YourTrigger "External trigger [%s]"
|
||||
Number YourNumber "Your Number [%.1f °C]"
|
||||
|
||||
// state of the execution, is running or finished
|
||||
Switch yourcommand_Run {channel="exec:command:yourcommand:run", autoupdate="false"}
|
||||
// Arguments to be placed for '%2$s' in command line
|
||||
String yourcommand_Args {channel="exec:command:yourcommand:input"}
|
||||
// Output of command line execution
|
||||
String yourcommand_Out {channel="exec:command:yourcommand:output"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.sitemap**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// Name of file and name of sitemap has to be the same
|
||||
sitemap demo label="Your Value"
|
||||
{
|
||||
Frame {
|
||||
Switch item=YourTrigger
|
||||
Text item=YourNumber
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**demo.rules**
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
rule "Set up your parameters"
|
||||
when
|
||||
Item YourTrigger changed
|
||||
then
|
||||
// here we can take different actions according to source Item
|
||||
if(YourTrigger.state == ON){
|
||||
yourcommand_Args.sendCommand("Additional Argument to command line for ON")
|
||||
}else{
|
||||
yourcommand_Args.sendCommand("Different Argument to command line for OFF")
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Caution : openHAB bus is asynchronous
|
||||
// we must let the command work before triggering execution (if autorun false)
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
rule "begin your execution"
|
||||
when
|
||||
Item yourcommand_Args received command
|
||||
then
|
||||
// Separately triggering RUN allows subsequent executions with unchanged parameter %2
|
||||
// which autorun does not.
|
||||
if (yourcommand_Run.state != ON) {
|
||||
yourcommand_Run.sendCommand(ON)
|
||||
// the Run indicator state will go ON shortly, and return OFF when script finished
|
||||
}else{
|
||||
logInfo("Your command exec", "Script already in use, skipping execution.")
|
||||
}
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
rule "script complete"
|
||||
when
|
||||
Item yourcommand_Run changed from ON to OFF
|
||||
then
|
||||
// Logging of ending
|
||||
logInfo("Your command exec", "Script has completed.")
|
||||
// Caution : openHAB bus is asynchronous
|
||||
// there is no guarantee the output Item will get updated before the run channel triggers rules
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
rule "process your results"
|
||||
when
|
||||
Item yourcommand_Out received update
|
||||
then
|
||||
// Logging of raw command line result
|
||||
logInfo("Your command exec", "Raw result:" + yourcommand_Out.state )
|
||||
// If the returned string is just a number it can be parsed
|
||||
// If not, a regex or another transformation could be used
|
||||
YourNumber.postUpdate(Integer::parseInt(yourcommand_Out.state.toString) as Number)
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
```
