Toggle Bluetooth on Connect Power

[NekoHunter]

Is there any software that will turn on Bluetooth when power is connected, then turn it back off again when it is disconnected? I'd love this, so that I could have Bluetooth in the car and at home, but not have it suck the battery dry the rest of the time, and I'm too lazy/forgetful to switch it myself.

It shouldn't be too hard for you to create a mortscript to do this. Search for the mortscript examples accumulation page on here if you want a few tips, or possibly someone has already made one.

Thanks for the suggestion Jez. It only took me a short while to download and install Mortscript and get it working with VJVolubilis from vijay555.com :D

EndSwitch
currentpowerstate = ExternalPowered()
EndIf
Sleep(2000)
EndWhile

This could be built into VJVolubilis if really required, but Mortscript will give greater flexibility... I'd stick with Mortscript.
