Get jasper to ask "are you sure"

[agr...@gmail.com]

I am trying to figure out how to get jasper to receive a command, then ask for confirmation before executing. I would like to make a shutdown script, but I think it would be best for jasper to double check before actually shutting down. I know i should use the active listen command, but I can't figure out how to tell jasper what to do if I say yes vs no. Below is the code I have so far (from this forum)

# -*- coding: utf-8-*-

import random

import re

import os

import subprocess

WORDS = ["SHUTDOWN", "SHUT", "DOWN"]

PRIORITY = 3

def handle(text, mic, profile):

    import subprocess

    """

        Responds to user-input, typically speech text, by shutting down the computer

        Arguments:

        text -- user-input, typically transcribed speech

        mic -- used to interact with the user (for both input and output)

        profile -- contains information related to the user (e.g., phone

                   number)

    """

    mic.say("Okay, I'm shutting down. Have a good day Alexander")

    command = "/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now"

    process = subprocess.Popen(command.split(), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

    output = process.communicate()[0]

def isValid(text):

    """

        Returns True if the input is related to the shutdown module

        Arguments:

        text -- user-input, typically transcribed speech

    """

    return bool(re.search(r'\b(SHUTDOWN|SHUT DOWN)\b', text, re.IGNORECASE))

yup, you can use ActiveListen() to make Jasper ask for confirmation.

Here's a snippet:

def shutdown():
    mic.say('Do you want to shutdown the system?')
    reply = mic.ActiveListen()
    if 'YES' in reply:
        mic.say('Shutting down')
        #put your shutdown command here
    elif 'NO' in reply:
        # abort shutdown
        mic.say('Shutdown aborted')
