Modem monitoring and hangup utility for the original apple airport base station ("graphite"), the lucent rg-1000 base station and the apple airport extreme base station
airport-modem
airport-modem allows you to monitor the state of the internal modem of your base station and to start/stop the modem connection.
On the AirPort Extreme base station, the modem utility can also display the approximate duration of the modem connection.
airport-modem accepts no command-line options. airport-modem is a wrapper script around the AirportBaseStationHangup.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.
You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.
DEBUG
Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.
JAVACMD
The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).
JAVA_HOME
The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.
JAVA_BINDIR
The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.
JAVA_ARGS
Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
