check_file()
{
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
echo "file $1 not found. Please install port '$2'"
exit
fi
}

usage_func() {
echo "usage: flashpluginctl [on | off]"
exit
}

check_file "/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so" "www/linux-flashplugin9"
check_file "/usr/local/bin/nspluginwrapper" "www/nspluginwrapper"

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
usage_func
fi

if test "$1" != "on" -a "$1" != "off"; then
usage_func
fi

case $1 in
on )
linux_module=`kldstat | grep linux | awk '{print $5}'`
if [ "$linux_module" != "linux.ko" ]; then
if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then
echo "I need root permission for load linux kernel module!"
echo "Please perform 'kldload linux' under an root."
exit
fi
kldload linux
fi
nspluginwrapper -a -r
nspluginwrapper -a -i
printf "\nFlash Plugin for user '`whoami`' enabled\n\n"
;;

off )
nspluginwrapper -a -r
printf "\nFlash Plugin for user '`whoami`' disabled\n\n"
;;
esac


Use:

%flashpluginctl on

Flash Plugin for user 'tuser' enabled


%flashpluginctl off

Flash Plugin for user 'tuser' disabled

How do you make use of such script?

I don't know much about scripts.

[marius]

Take a text editor, make a new file called flashpluginctl, and put all the text (the script) in that file, then save. Make the file executable by using "chmod +x flashpluginctl"

Place the file wherever you like, maybe in /usr/local/bin and run the script by typing the files name, now it acts like a command:

flashpluginctl on

by the way I'm glad Adobe has finally done something. Not only did I sign the petition but I also wrote every broadcaster that I couldn't see there media when I couldn't. So I was asking them to use another media (player).

Hey, I've installed all this stuff, but firefox3 (well, as other browsers do) shows just black rectangles instead of all flash frames. What could be wrong? I just have no idea of how to fix it...
