That should work

This does not work for me on my N800. Terminal starts just as usual without doing anything...

Any ideas/hints?

That command is meant to ssh into machine 222.222.222.222 on port 22 and locally redirect 192.111.1.1:3389 to [local] port 3389. Therefore, the user could access 192.111.1.1:3389 through localhost:3389.

What were you expecting it to do?

Is it possible to just execute a shell script but without opening the terminal?
I have a simple toggle script which should just be executed and not shown and currently I always get a black window with a loading animation which is annoying and not necessary.
The desktop file looks like this:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Name=FMTX Toggle
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Comment=FMTX Toggle
Exec=/home/user/apps/fmtransmtoggle.sh
Icon=terminal
#X-Window-Icon=timerwidget
X-Window-Icon=     
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

and the script like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
fmtx_client|grep disabled > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   fmtx_client -p 1 > /dev/null
   fmtx_client -f 106900 > /dev/null
   fmtx_client -s "N900    " > /dev/null
   fmtx_client -t "My N900 radio channel" > /dev/null
   echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
   echo "RF Enabled @106.90 with power `cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level`"
else
   fmtx_client -p 0
   echo "RF Disabled"
fi
exit 0

Is it also possible to have only a shortcut on the desktop but not in the menu?

Thanks

the comand need to be included in a *.desktop file read earlier posts for how to do that.

Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root -L 3389:192.111.1.1:3389 222.222.222.222 -p 22'

this is code in the .desktop file.

this is ssh requires you to have installed ssh client.

this is the port that forwards to the server running SSH

this is the ip address of the computer you are forwarding the port on.

this is the user name on the ssh server you are logging into

this is the IP address of the computer/router on the Internet

if you want to use an ssh tunnel to log onto your home or work PC using Remote Desktop (RDP) the command on your n900 would look something like the above. but to do this you will first need to get SSH and RDP up and running before tempting to use it on your n900.

HI,

I posted a variation of Archebyte´s "Top in XTerm"-Icon.
Instead of Top in XTerm it launches Mediaplayer playing the web radio of your choice.
Check the following link to see what I did:

Not that "hack" really means "hack" and doing something wrong here might turn your device into a brick, but for me it works. :-P

What do you do with the "Soft poweroff", it is earlier than "Top"? I would like to use all 3 of them, Reboot, Top, and Soft poweroff, if you have tried it and there is not any obvious ill effect. If not, I would at least add top. Currently I have only Reboot modified.

TIA,

bun

Does anyone know why this doesn't work:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=ssh hostname
Exec=/usr/bin/ssh hostname
Icon=

I am thinking that "Terminal=true" means that this command should be executed within an osso-term session in any case.

Yet instead we must do this:

Code:

Terminal=true
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh hostname'

What does terminal=true mean then?
