HOLA. congratulations on your work. I find it very ineresante.
You could create a script to:
VOLUME + = torch - on
VOLUME - = torch - off
I would greatly appreciate it

gracias!
v0.4 supports this, through modification of the config file
paste the below code into /home/user/.config/n9-button-monitor.conf

Code:

#just to torch on/off for guillermorojaz
torchAutoShutOffTimeMs=60000
longClickDelayMs=400
doubleClickDelayMs=400
trebleClickDelayMs=600
action=torchOn,volumeUp,singleClick,screenLocked
action=torchOff,volumeDown,singleClick,screenLocked

p.s.: if anyone should be overwhelmed with charitable urges and needs an outlet, ive added a flattr button and a paypal email to the first post.

p.p.s.: be careful with these easy on/off buttons for torch; the flash could turn on in your pocket.
the example above auto-turns off after 60 seconds, as a precaution against this. you can make it last longer by changing 'torchAutoShutOffTimeMs=60000' to your liking. to make the flash stay on for an hour, change it from '60000' to '3600000'.

This is getting really good. Im yet to use it. A GUI would be awesome, I would donate if you get that far!

not sure what youre asking me;

follow the installation instructions in the first post, and then add the config file i put in the post above. {the release im talking about is the 'v0.4' link.}

I've tried for hours now. It is impossible to get it to autostart. Seriously what should I do?

Code:

description "Startup script for n9-button-monitor"

# Author e-mail address, mandatory
author "elliot.wolk@gmail.com"

start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

#none: stdout to /dev/null
#output: direct stdout to console
console output

#if application exits, restart max 3 times within 300 secs
respawn
#respawn limit 3 300

exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user sh -c 'source /etc/profile; PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin; develsh -c n9-button-monitor'
#exec sh -c 'source /etc/profile; PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin; develsh -c n9-button-monitor'
#exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user sh -c 'DISPLAY=:0 n9-button-monitor'

How can I debug it?

Now I can't start it at all from terminal. Can't get necessary permissions from develsh. How is this possible? Is aegis having fun giving permissions one day and blocking them the next?

sucks. i also had tons of trouble getting my autostart script to work, and that was on openmode.

my current hypothesis for your problem is that its running at startup with incorrect permissions, and then somehow mucking you up.

1) try starting and stopping them manually, instead of restarting. {if you change the /etc/init file, start/stop pick up on the changes instantly.}
/sbin/stop n9-button-monitor
/sbin/start n9-button-monitor

2) try putting the n9-button-monitor.conf in /etc/init instead of /etc/init/apps; /etc/init/apps scripts have restrictions on what they can and cant say about starting and stopping, and setting nice values, etc.

3) try variations on the exec like youve been doing. use full paths to executables, and try the simpler stuff first.
e.g.:
exec /usr/bin/n9-button-monitor
exec /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/n9-button-monitor

4) verify no other instances are running, with pidof n9-button-monitor {killall -9 n9-button-monitor}. make PIDs show up after starting the job, and make sure stop says its really stopping the job, instead of it wasnt running at all.

here is a script that should work for you {only in /etc/init, not in /etc/init/apps}

/etc/init/n9-button-monitor.conf

Code:

description "Startup script for n9-button-monitor"
author "elliot.wolk@gmail.com"

start on DESKTOP_VISIBLE
stop on core_shutdown

console none
respawn

exec /bin/develsh -c 'source /etc/profile; /usr/bin/n9-button-monitor'

note that i need /usr/local/bin on my path ONLY because i use the cmd() action in my config, for execs that i stuck in /usr/local/bin.
e.g.: i pause my music like this
action=cmd(udo klomp-cmd pause),volumeUp,singleClick,screenLocked

source /etc/profile is necessary to get the dbus session.

yea, it seems like you cant run things as root from /etc/init/apps in closed mode. put it in /etc/init

if we cant do that, i think we need to bring inception into the picture

"You are holding it wrong."

Your approach won't work even with Inception. You have to do a proper debian package, which contains the needed _aegis and digsigsums files. Otherwise "root" will not be able to execute the scripts or python application as "user". Aegis-exec won't give you permissions, if those aren't requested in the first place (during installation).

Here is an example _aegis file:

Code:

<aegis>
        <request>
                <credential name="UID::user" />
                <credential name="GID::users" />
                <credential name="GRP::users" />
                <for path="/opt/n9-button-monitor/start.sh" />
                <for path="/opt/n9-button-monitor/stop.sh" />
                <for path="/opt/n9-button-monitor/n9-button-monitor.py" />
        </request>
</aegis>

You should find out, which credentials your application needs in addition to the listed above. There will be no need to use "develsh" in order to start the application, when you have included the needed credentials in the _aegis file.

The upstart script will work after installing a debian package with this file and correct digsigsums included. Digsigsums should be added for "n9-button-monitor.py", "start.sh" and "stop.sh". In order to autostart the application as "user", you need to execute it like this:

Code:

exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -l -u user /opt/n9-button-monitor/start.sh

All third party upstart scripts must be in "/etc/init/apps" or they won't be executed during startup.

mmhmm, i was in the middle of making such a deb last weekend, but my jobby job got jobby.

p.s.: is there really no way to put a file in /etc/init even with an incepted deb? nokia debs put stuff there; i guess those debs update the immutable-dir hash somehow.
