shell: quick linux scripts for showing network bandwidth or packets-per-second
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo
echo usage: $0 network-interface
echo
echo e.g. $0 eth0
echo
echo shows packets-per-second

These are only examples, for a few very common actions. You are expected to write your own rules for the rest. The syntax is regular JavaScript, but see the polkit(8) manpage for the object structure and available API. These examples are for polkit versions 106 and later, with the JS interpreter. They won't work with Debian's polkit v105.

  • If you don't know the action name, run pkaction:

    pkaction | grep cups
    
  • The possible results are YES, AUTH_SELF(_KEEP), AUTH_ADMIN(_KEEP), NO. Returning a result is final. Returning null will continue checking other rules.

  • Put your rules in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/*.rules. (You can check everything in one giant addRule, or you can have a separate file and separate addRule for each program; it doesn't matter.)
