genmon icon change

Hi. I've decided to replace nm-applet with this genmon script to show my ip adrress and connection speed:

#!/bin/bash

# code

d=$(ip addr show enp0s8 | grep -i 'inet' | cut -c10-25
ethtool enp0s8 | grep -i speed | cut -b2-15)
 
# genmon  

#echo "<txt>$d</txt>"
echo "<img>/home/milan/bin/notification-network-ethernet-connected.png</img>"
echo "<click>/home/milan/bin/dhcpcd-renew.sh</click>"
echo "<tool>$d</tool>"

What i want is when the connection is down to show me a different image, let's say to show some 'network-ethernet-disconnected' image when the contents of the tooltip are changed. Is this possible in genmon?

Re: genmon icon change

Try something like this:

#!/bin/bash

# code

if (ip addr | grep enp0s8 | grep "state UP")
then
    icon=/home/milan/bin/notification-network-ethernet-connected.png
else
    icon=/home/milan/bin/notification-network-ethernet-disconnected.png
fi

d=$(ip addr show enp0s8 | grep -i 'inet' | cut -c10-25
ethtool enp0s8 | grep -i speed | cut -b2-15)
 
# genmon  

#echo "<txt>$d</txt>"
echo "<img>$icon</img>"
echo "<click>/home/milan/bin/dhcpcd-renew.sh</click>"
echo "<tool>$d</tool>"

Change the icon names to suit.

Re: genmon icon change

Since 'dhcpcd-renew.sh' only disconnects the dhcp server, not the enp0s8 network interface. i just changed grep 'state UP' to grep 'inet' and it works.
Thank you very much.
