help with standby

hello
i'd like to execute a command when enigma2 goes to standby, and another when it leave the standby mode:
any suggestions?
i thinked about verify the powestate: i found a way using the webinterface but looks not so good (is there a file that contains the running powerstate?)
or to edit something and add that command before or after the stanby "command" (which file shoud contains that)?

thanks to all

You can monitor the config- variable config.misc.standbyCounter that is set as soon as the box is sent to standby. I did it like this in KiddyTimer- Plugin (you can find the sourcecode here:

To attach yourself to the Standby- Event you do something like this:

	Source code
1	config.misc.standbyCounter.addNotifier(self.enterStandby, initial_call = False)

And then in the function enterStandby you can monitor, when it comes back by using the Standby- class:

	Source code
1 2 3	from Screens import Standby def enterStandby(self,configElement): Standby.inStandby.onClose.append(self.endStandby)

many thanks for the reply
but unlucky i cannot "speak" py

but many thanks the same for the suggestions, i have already downloaded the source and i'll try to understand something: but at this moment look as china language for me

there is not any file that stores the standby or working state (or system variable, so i can access to it with a simple sh script)? verify that values (if it is present) every xxx seconds is enough for me
thanks again
regards
