Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts
 
I'm trying to create a "switch" using this widget to lower the LCD brightness instantly just by clicking on the widget.

Using following command:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness
But it does nothing when used with the widget. Can I make it work?

wouldn't you need root rights for that? so probably adding
'| sudo gainroot'
to the end? just a guess though. and would need rootsh installed.

You want edit /etc/sudoers, and add an appropriate line. Be careful, this is the file that makes "sudo gainroot" and a lot of other things work.

And me I guess you should then put the 'sudo' to the beginning of the line (or even call 'su' instead). Piping the empty output of a not allowed command to 'sudo gainroot' seems quite useless to me.

sudo echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

What you really need is rootsh in front of command - it executes it with root priv. if you have rootsh installed. So:

rootsh echo 2 > ...

Please fix this, because I'm using it for buttons: disconnect/connect/lock screen (via dbus) and I need some bigger buttons.
Yeah... it is a "known buggy". Will be fixed on the next version. (together with the overwritting on =])

PS: I'm very busy and so the next version is expected to some time in the end of march when I'll have more time.

I use the LIRC program which has a socket issue whenever the phone is restarted. The issue is resolved by running the following command lines:

sudo gainroot
/etc/init.d/lirc start

Is there anyway to use this widget to run these so I do not have to open a terminal when I want to use LIRC?? Maybe two widgets using an echo command for both?

Similary to #177 you might want to use
rootsh /etc/init.d/lirc start
as commandline. Obviously you will need to have rootsh installed.
