It doesn’t seem to be able to take commands in anything but interactive mode. As far as I can tell, where I used to do “hciconfig hci0 up” as one line in a shell script, I now need to write a fully-fledged dbus application to bring up the interface. Is my conclusion correct? You can do some scripting like the following with bluetoothctl: bluetoothctl << EOF power on EOF You can also do DBus on the command line. Depending on your system it might need to be gdbus, dbus-send or busctl etc. For example with busctl on my system I can do: busctl call org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties Set ssv org.bluez.Adapter1 Powered b true busctl call org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties Set ssv org.bluez.Adapter1 Powered b false > > Jonah-- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
