Hej,

I tried digging TJC for a terminal command to control internet connectivity from terminal, but was not able to find anything. I would like to use systemd.timer to toggle the internet connectivity on/off on my Jolla. No, not Flight Mode. I want to be able to be reached via phone, I just want mobile data and wifi off. Could somebody please help me?

I need something like this (this one is for Bluetooth):

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/bluetooth net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:true/false

Thanks, LVPVS

For wifi:

Turn off:

/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --system --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/wifi net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:false

Turn on:

/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --system --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/wifi net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:true

For cellular:

(complex method but not sure what happens if you disable the technology.) First you need to find the service:

/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=net.connman / net.connman.Manager.GetServices

Its service path will be something with cellular_<lots_of_numbers>_context1</lots_of_numbers>

/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/service/cellular_<blah>_<blah> net.connman.Service.Disconnect

And same with Connect if you want it to reconnect

Otherwise:

off:

/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --system --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/cellular net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:false

on:

/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --system --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/cellular net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:false

There should also be a connman tool to make things easier.

Thanks a lot! As I look at it, it seems so straight-forward I feel quite dumb not trying it myself. 8D Cheers!

This is how I did it in my app: https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/quick-internet-onoff

wifi off:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/wifi net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:false

wifi on:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/wifi net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:true

3G off:

cell=$(/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system net.connman|grep service|grep cell)
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.connman $cell net.connman.Service.SetProperty string:"AutoConnect" variant:boolean:false

3G on:

cell=$(/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system net.connman|grep service|grep cell)
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=net.connman $cell net.connman.Service.SetProperty string:"AutoConnect" variant:boolean:true
