Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Please try the new FM transmitter script which you can found in wiki.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

So I updated my script, but it does not work (unlike fmboost application)
I check the power level using this command

Code:

cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Please retry with brand new one. Btw: you do have "rootsh" installed, right?

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

success, it works now! thank you

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Hi again , I have already done my last request (make a call , wait 4:30minutes and if call is till active hang up and dial again).

I dont want to be off topic but now this is my question.

Is there a wey to get this done?
1.- Remove the WEB icon (launch microB browser) from the menu.
2.- Use the "Desktop Command Execution Widget" or a desktop shortcut to a little app.(.sh or .py) that ask for a password before Launching the Browser.

If there's no master password for the browser maybe we can prevent simple users to use It.

this may also be useful for other apps like Email client.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Hi, not sure if this has been asked already but please please please could you build in a text wrapping feature. I have a command and the output is super long so I need it to automatically wrap on to the next line.

Awesome Widget otherwise =D

Piping your command through fold might do what you need. For example:

command | fold -s -w 60

Note that I haven't tested this. More info on fold is available from http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?fold. Specifically the -w width may be of interest, depending on the width of your widget.

Not quite automatic word wrap, but this should work on a command-by-command basis.

I have a script that freezes hildon when booting.
I resolved it with a little wrapper script that prevents it from running when uptime is less that 120 seconds.

Code:

#!/bin/sh



SAFELIMIT=120



if [ `cat /proc/uptime | awk '{ print int($1) }'` -gt $SAFELIMIT ] ; then

        genplaylists.sh /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds

else

        cat /proc/uptime | awk -v limit="$SAFELIMIT" '{print "T-",limit-int($1)}'

fi

Using this the desktop doesn't freeze when booting, just change your own script instead of the "genplaylists.sh ..." -line.
And you can decrease the safe limit also, 120 seconds is a bit overkill.

This is very useful thanks, at least until the new version comes along. :)

I have a couple of commands to wake and hibernate my (Windows XP) desktop PC over my wifi or vpn, so I don't want them both to be executed on every boot of the N900.

However, my hibernate script (using psshutdown and freesshd) is hanging every time it is successfully executed. I'm not yet sure whether that is fixable but it was causing the N900 desktop to hang, so I implemented a timeout to kill the script after a few seconds.

This page led me to this script which does the job perfectly.

Here is my problem script, if anyone can suggest improvements:

Code:

# ssh to Dave (local or VPN) and hibernate

ssh 192.168.69.50 'psshutdown -h -t 00 -accepteula'

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

This app seems to kill my hildon-home and after reboot I get blank desktops... Anyone got anything similar or workarounds?

N900 is still usable so I just uninstall and reboot... apps come back... Annoying though as I want to use this to activate the handwriting recognition script.
