with shell scripts)

No, this is possible with standard tasker actions. Bellow is the task to collect current value of data transferred and sent on all interfaces. It can be modified to check data for wifi only. However if wifi is on all data should go over it so measure of total traffic is enough. I use this function to decide if its ok to turn data connection off. I make one measurement and then another in 30sec. If differnce is less than some treshold it is safe to switch off wifi.

this is a nice trick, thanks!

gonna have a play with it :)

There is the trick with %newline variable which is not visible. In set variable dialog you have to press enter key.

Hi

Sorry for stealing your thread.

I made a different approach, but more of less the same result, but perhaps a bit easier to implement.

I made a "Run Shell" task with this inside: grep -i "eth0" /proc/net/dev | awk '{print ($2+$10)}' > /mnt/sdcard/tmp/eth0data

now "sdcard/tmp/eth0data" contains the total send and received amount for eth0

make a readline task to get it to a variable.

I think this version is a bit easier to implement for others, but it only monitors one interface. replace eth0 with the interface to monitor.

The grep command only "outputs" the lines which contains/starts with eth0, awk then takes the 2nd and the 10th parameter and adds them.

My inspiration came from here

Best regards

Ok, I've built this task.  Can anyone give me a pointer on implementing it?

[Krzysztof Cebulski]

Another way created by me in javascript:

1) Set Variable "TotalUsage" to -1

2) Code -> JavaScripLet    (Paste code below) and that's it

var data = [];

var re = /wlan0:\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+\s+){7}(\d+)/;

var sourcestring = readFile('/proc/self/net/dev');

var matches = re.exec(sourcestring); 

data.push(matches[1], matches[3])

wait(1000);

sourcestring = readFile('/proc/self/net/dev');

matches = re.exec(sourcestring); 

data.push(matches[1], matches[3]);

var download = parseInt(data[2]) - parseInt(data[0]);

var upload = parseInt(data[3]) - parseInt(data[1]);

var total = download + upload;

flash('Usage:\ndownload=' + download + ' \nupload=' + upload + '\ntotal=' + total);

//setGlobal('Download', download);

//setGlobal('Upload', upload);

setGlobal('TotalUsage', total);

Super cool, thanks

[きぼう Hope]

I'm a noob!

Can you please show me how to do this in tasker? I don't even know when to start.

1. I created a task, then all under the same task did the following actions:

2. Added variable: %TotalUsage to task

3. Went to code -->JavaScriplet and pasted the information you provided

4. Went to Task, under preform task choose (disable Wi-Fi) *if %TotalUsage ~1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naturally, because I have no I idea what I'm doing, it did not work. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
