Thanks

ls /usr/bin/devel-su

Return value 0 tells that its activated and return value 2 says that file doesn't exist so its disabled :)

# ls /usr/bin/devel-su > /dev/null 2>&1
# echo $?

or

# if ls /usr/bin/devel-su > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo enabled; else echo disabled; fi

or even faster without ls (thanks @pycage)

# [ -x /usr/bin/devel-su ] && echo enabled || echo disabled

well yes you can do it with rpm, but rpm query will take ~700ms and ls query will take ~20ms, so if you want to have faster check you use ls.

Yep, in this way much better :) Thanks again!

P.S. Don't know how to convert your comment to answer, sorry :)

Or shorter with test ([) instead of having ls fail:

[ -x /usr/bin/devel-su ] && echo enabled || echo disabled

Never mind, I checked by installed packages:

rpm -qa jolla-developer*
