You can use standard command-line utilities to view the status of objects or to change their attributes.
To read objects, use the cat command. To write to objects, use echo. Here are some examples.
View the current contents of the Bluetooth status object:
cat /pps/services/bluetooth/status
Monitor the changes to the mpaudio status object as they occur:
cat /pps/services/mm-control/mpaudio/status?wait,delta
Set the pause attribute to 1 in the gears control object:
echo "pause:n:1" >> /pps/services/gears/control
Set the demo_enabled attribute to false, overwriting all other existing attributes in the mytest control object:
echo "demo_enabled:b:false" > /pps/mytest/control
