You can do that using normal shell tools like echo, tee, pipes etc. or by using a programming language's file read/write methods. In this case you're looking to write either 0 or 1 to /sys/devices/platform/led-controller/leds/white:flash/brightness - note the permissions on that file which may mean you'll need to use sudo or similar to access it.Just noticed this very informed response. I don't suppose this kind of stuff is documented anywhere? And is it OS specific? I can RTFM if I can find them.
