airport-modem1

Usage

Overview

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.

Options

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.

Environment

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.
