maemo.org - Talk - Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

anyone can help?
i can only open 3 widgets on desktop, fourth only shows as "result" and all desktop widgets and shortcuts freeze. then hildon-home crashes.

Probably the command you set up for the fourth widget is broken and locks. Try Removing the ".desktop_cmd_exec" file in your home directory, this will force default values.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Yes, about the cache/buffer memory, it is true. I'll redesign scripts to use /proc/meminfo and extract information from there, this'll fix readings.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

I'm trying to use the world time command -
http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Comman...pts#World_time

But i think i need to store the shell script somewhere for me to use it.
Any one used this?

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Whoever wrote previous scripts made some big mistakes, because the first one wasn't working and the second one was too complicated. I've rewritten scripts and whole wiki part.

afaq: Go and get the right ones and post feedback if they don't work.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Pavol & others: the wiki page has been updated with working scripts for memory usage. The readings should be fine now. Please retest them...

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

I am not sure if this is posible by this app , or if there's any other that can do what I am looking for (I have a plan with free 5 minutes call to one number)
I am looking for a shortcut that execute the call to this number and end it afer 4:50 minutes, It will be great if it is ended by the script (command) execute it self again, *unless the call its ended manually.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

go to Phone control wiki page ang get the two commands for calling and ending the call. then write the script.

#!/bin/sh
-dial command-
sleep 290
-end call command-

290 = time in seconds.

then execute this script with dcew:

sh /path/script.sh | echo ""

remember that script has to be executable and cannot be in mydocs.

Doesn't this make problems with a time-out? I think DCEW might not wait that long for a script to be ending.
Maybe this could work around:
sh /path/script.sh & ; echo ""
This way, the script would run in background and DCEW would receive the 'output' immediately. I didn't test it, just an idea.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

I just can now make the call and end it the problem y have is when I end the call manually the script make the call again be cause it keeps running.
I try this

if dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --print-reply /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.GetStatus = "8" (this is call active, AFAIK)
then
"End call"
else
exit
fi

And get this error
"Data item "=" is badly formed"

Any advice?

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Yeah, it's not THAT easy...

1. forgot #!/bin/sh

2. here:

if [ `dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --print-reply /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.GetStatus` = 8 ]

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

I just uploaded a new version do -devel that addresses many of the bugs described here (including for example the execution at boot, the settings dialog glitches..).

I'll leave it on -devel for some days and then start the promotion process.

Note that I didn't address any feature requests yet.

Enjoy..

I ve set a custom command named temperature with the command "cat /sys/devices/platform/omap34xx_temp/temp1_input" and every time I m doing a reboot it resets to uptime. Is this a known bug?

Very weird! Which version are you using?! things got way better lately... and I don't know why that would happen..
Try removing "/home/user/.desktop_cmd_exec" to clean your settings file and see if that happens again..

So, if you mean the times that the user command locks, no it does not and since it only occurs with "malicious" commands... one could get around it.
But some older versions had different lock ups that no longer exists.
(as far as I know).

Has anyone succeeded in upgrading this ? I see it in app manager but it has missing dependencies, just like most other updates since the extras-devel autobuilder was "promoted" to the PR1.2 SDK :-(

This situation is getting *really* old...

Erm - perhaps you could post some useful info. Like a reference to what you think is garbage, what codes you want, and what you want to use them for. Your message makes absolutely zero sense otherwise.

I am currently using 0.9 (very buggy).
Cannot upgrade to 1.10 because of missing dependency libhildon1.

will resolve itself with PR1.2, just means the latest version got built recently on the autobuilder - which is using the new version ;)

Hopefully not long now :D

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Changed Load: definition http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Comman...t_scripts#Load
from:

Code:

uptime | sed 's/min/:/' | awk -F "[: ]" '{print $12,$13,$14}'

to:

Code:

uptime | sed 's/.*load.*: *//'

It eliminates the awk execution, therefore is much quicker.

Cool, I also improved "uptime" script based on your example.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

Hi,

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.

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

1)
hi all, I would love to have a script that would send a predefined SMS to specific number, perhaps something similar to what matristain wanted. I only found this article: http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Send_SMS
thanks for any help

2)
also, increase power of FM transmitter script in the wiki does not work

Code:

rootsh echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level | echo ""

from reading comments above, would this help?

Code:

echo "echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level" | sudo gainroot

Re: Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts

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

bng	2010-04-15 23:13

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

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.

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.

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.
