While wanting to do a rm *~ to get rid of files emacs created
in the /etc/event.d folder I didn't quite get the tilde in and
did a
rm * instead in the /etc/event.d folder.

Could someone please upload a version the files in event.d ?

Pretty please with sugor on top ?

Or could I maybe extract it from a Maemo update file somewhere?

Anyone please ???

Here you are.

Thanks t3hwx9


Hope no shellcode spawning code somewhere in there
Or weird problems because of slightly different Maemo versions...


Was root owner and group of those files?

There may be some unneded files or you may still need some files which you deleted. In this tar file I can see for example a file called avahi-daemon, which is a part of additional protocols support package (as far as I remember), so if you didn't have it installed on your device, it's just a waste of space... And if t3hwx9 didn't have some packages installed, which you had installed and which had some files in /etc/event.d, you may still encounter some issues and strange behaviour.

Should show the list of installed event.d files so you could compare yours with t3hwx9's
Bye

Thanks everyone.. . .

Before I try a reboot: Is root owner of the files ?

I can answer you by checking on my device: yes. When I run "ls -l /etc/event.d/", each line begins with: "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root" and then comes "blablah-size blahblah-creation-date blahblah-name-of-file". (It gives you a hint about file permissions also remember that if you extracted the file to MyDocs or SD card, FAT32 type partition can mess up file permissions, so you should extract them directly to /etc/event.d )
