[APP] RunScript - PKG app that execute script code at boot-time

[Casper]

I've tried endlessly to test this! it's not doing the job fully! I'm testing with FingerPad, coz then i know i have it working! The log file is created, but Fingerpad doesn't work! The script works when I run it through eKonsole (just type the scripts' location and the script <Enter> ; eg: /mmc/mmca1/AppStartupScripts/fpstartup.txt <Enter>). I've copied the lines into the autorun.lin file but it doesn't work! Any ideas - if you want to test on your side, I'm using the "fixed" fingerpad; files on phone memory...

You know, is it not at all possible to run the script through eKonsole via a command-line switch, don't know if eKonsole has any. but then you could run startup scripts through eKonsole. just have an "app" start: but instead use the Ekonsole executable with the command-line switch as the executable when the "app" runs/is clicked (eg. /mmc/mmca1/.system/ekonsole/ekonsole -run/execute_switch "/mmc/mmca1/startup.txt").
I'm just suggesting, i would do this if i knew a switch, unless yours works.. ??

so if i use this app the bugs of the fingerpad will be gone?

@danielbrits: If you want to use any script thru eKonsole, you can add the script file name to the commands list. Either thru eKonsole or add it directly to the file
.system/QTDownLoad/ekonsole/root/settings/Konsole.conf

@michaeldomingo
no, this won't fix fingerpad - i'm just testing to get fingerpad started when the phone is booted. Nothing will change.

@thakkarnimesh
I will check out the konsole.conf file and see, but why can't fingerpad startup with RunScript?

Edit.. ok, adding the commands makes it a little easier as you then do not need to type in the whole line again, thanks. but now for the autostart.. i do not really use fingerpad but it is a good app for testing RunScript, i too need to run foxalarm's script, which i have in the meantime been executing through eKonsole each time.

I dont know why but it should run fingerpad.
Need to check that.

I'll post if I get something.

Update: The Fingerpad worked. but took long time to load.
Need to check what's the problem.

then what am i doing wrong? even if i execute the .lin file with SmartAsst it doesnt work. maybe upload ur .lin file so i could try that.

I forgot to say that fingerpad ran when I ran the script thru eKonsole.
(I was thinking that I restarted and it worked)

With the autorun, the fingerpad doesn't work.
The reason I think that it does not mount the am file during startup.

Check the below contents of my file.
I've added the script for 3 things, MediaEditor, Pixcall and the last Fingerpad.

When I execute it thru eKonsole, all 3 get's executed.
But when I start the phone, only pixcall started.

So I think the mounting does not happen.

 
#!/bin/bash
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/ezx
cd /
echo "RunScript - working" > runscr.log
# Runscript -- script file to be executed at boot-time 26/09/2008
# Insert script code below this line
 
#Media Editor
mount --bind /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/mediaeditor/mediaeditor /usr/SYSqtapp/mediaeditor
mount --bind /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/mediaeditor/lib/libezximageeditor.so.1 /usr/lib/ezx/lib/libezximageeditor.so.1
 
#Pixcall 
/mmc/mmca1/pixcall/pixcall.sh start
 
#Fingerpad Keyboard
mount --bind /mmc/mmca1/am /usr/SYSqtapp/am
start-stop-daemon --stop -n am

Note that I'd run the complete startup1 script for fingerpad earlier, so all the required files were already copied to the card. and hence only 2 lines of code for the fingerpad script.

ok, i see - so I suppose RunScript does in fact work, but it's limited. The lines for mediaeditor: will this eliminate the need to run the app and select A1600? sorry, i'm using opera mini and can't see the full lines - native browser wasn't working earlier.. I don't have pixcall installed - too much effort organising pics of everyone for me etc.

ok, whoa, i need to get some sleep, went to bed 2am last nite, drove 5hrs today, and now it's nearly 1am and i must be up at 6am! (but I'll be back at motorolafans tomorrow evening)..

thanks for all the trouble.

Okay, I've got the same problem as you guys. But it's not RunScript's fault. My app does execute the script just as you would manually do via SmartAssistant for instance. It's just that the MOUNT command does not seem to work when executed from a script! Please take a look at this question I've posted for more info.

Read it carefully. If anyone figures out a way to overcome thie problem, I'll be more than happy to listen

@intermario_gr: This post solves our problem.

Adding these lines at start runs the mount command also.

if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" -a -z "$1" ]; then
exec /sbin/start-stop-daemon -S -c root:root -x "$0" -- restart
exit 1
fi

I tried it with MediaEditor and it mounted, when I restarted the phone.

@danielbrits:
Yes. after adding these lines. you do not need to run the app and select A1600.
Also you do not need to have an extra icon of photoshop.
You can remove it from the registry, as the above commands for mediaeditor mounts the new app to the existing one.

So you can launch the new mediaeditor by clicking on the old icon itself.
