Boot and Shutdown Issues on Aspire E 11 model E3-111-C0WA

Question

I have a Bash script that runs 3 commands. The last file is called "junk1.txt" which I am worrying about. I want to make an addition to the check the if statement performs. If the "junk1.txt" is an ASCII text file. How would I go about doing this?

./command1 > command1.txt

while read l;

do
    command2 > command2.txt

    while read m;

        do

            command3 junk.txt > junk1.txt 2>/tmp/err
            if [ -s /tmp/err ] #I WANT TO ADD ANOTHER CONDITION HERE
            then
                echo "not cracked"
            else
                echo "cracked"
                exit
            fi
        done < command2.txt

done < command1.txt

Solution

I was having the same issue of hangout on startup/shutdown with Ubuntu 14.04 on an Acer E3-111-C9NY, found a solution for it on:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1341925

Basically, you have to blacklist the modules dw_dmac and dw_dmac_core, you do that by adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf the following lines:

blacklist dw_dmac
blacklist dw_dmac_core

After that, the laptop start/shutdown/suspend works fine.

You can't check if it is. You can only check if it could be or could not be. It is whatever the author chose.
