i3Blocks PPTP Status Indicator

Here is yet another bash script for i3Blocks in the i3 Window Manager. This one is very similar to the VPN Status Indicator I posted previously except this applies to PPTP tunnels.

Read more about i3Blocks here and read my review of the 3 Window Manager here.

Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash

#And check out my Linux blog at https://nuxview.blogspot.com/


##Check PPTP status
##Edit this file to show a unique output for when you have PPTP tunneling turned on
##Change "ppp0" in both places to fit your needs
GET_PPTP=$(ip addr show | grep pp0 | cut -d ' ' -f2 | cut -d ':' -f1)

##Store status in STATUS
if [[ $GET_PPTP == *"ppp0"* ]]
then   
    STATUS=ON
else
    STATUS=OFF
fi


#Print status
echo $STATUS
echo $STATUS



##Colors
if [[ "$STATUS" == "ON" ]]
then
    echo "#00ff00"
else
    echo "#ff0000"
fi

And once again, this script it available on my i3Blocks github page.
