✨ AIRPORT-MODEM(1) ✨ 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for airport-modem, the modem monitoring and hangup utility 🎀 It's the one you reach for when you wanna check on the internal modem of your base station and start or stop its connection 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

airport-modem is a 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 💅

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

airport-modem

Literally just type the name and go 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So airport-modem lets you monitor the state of the internal modem on your base station, and it also lets you start/stop the modem connection ✨ It's giving full control, no cap 🫶

On the AirPort Extreme base station, the modem utility can also show you the approximate duration of the modem connection ⭐ Main character energy for real 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

airport-modem accepts no command-line options 🙈 It's lowkey minimal, but iykyk. It's actually a wrapper script around the AirportBaseStationHangup.jar jar file, which lives in /usr/share/java/airport-utils 🍓

You can set the JAVACMD environment variable if you want a specific JVM to run instead of the one the wrapper script picks ✨ And if you need the debug output from the wrapper script, set the DEBUG environment variable to 1 🌈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

  • DEBUG — Set this to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script 🐛
  • JAVACMD — The full path to the Java Virtual Machine you want to use. By default the wrapper uses JAVACMD. If it isn't set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java, before finally looking for a java executable in the PATH. In that last case, the JVM that gets used can be configured with 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 lives 📂
  • JAVA_ARGS — Extra command-line arguments to pass to the Java Virtual Machine 💪
