WHSInfo - Plugin for LCD Smartie
This page always hosts the latest version of my LCD Smartie plugin - WHSInfo.
The plugin currently only supports retrieving the backup status of your home server. Further information will be added in future versions!
Current Version: 0.1
Released on: 22nd July 2007
Installation
Unzip, copy the MSI to your WHS. Log onto the console, run the setup and ensure you are placing the plugin in your LCD Smartie plugins folder - this is entirely dependent on where you installed LCD Smartie to.
Usage
To use the plugin, call it with the following parameters from LCDSmartie:
$dll(WHSInfo,1,,)
to return the backup status as an integer (1: Running, 2: Cleanup, 3: Idle, 4:Restore, 5: Unknown)
$dll(WHSInfo,2,,)
to return the backup status as a single word (for example, “Running”, “Idle”, “Restoring”)

I am aware of a bug in this plugin, where LCD Smartie sometimes fails to load the plugin - I’m investigating this…
It appears that the problem only occurs when LCD Smartie is running as a service - I don’t think it’s looking in the right place for the service DLL when it’s not running on a user desktop.
Perhaps a good addition/modification to this would be to simply display the status messages that appear along the bottom of the WHS Console.
