Hi,

I'm using a script on my NAS to rdiff-backup my phone when it's in the home network. I would like to tune this script to only start if the phone has at least say 80% charge. Is there any way to check the charge level from the terminal?

Thanks

Try to cat the modules in /sys/class/power_supply/battery, there you can get all the information you need about the battery.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Specifically what I will use in my script are:

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity - gives the charge percentage, no math required

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/status - charging / discharging
