Q: Howto get the phone to run scripts at startup

[aksd]

I know that modded firmare have included an ezx_boot.cfg file to run the startup.txt file at start up. But how do I get the phone to recognise the ezx_boot.cfg file. Is there any modification to be conducted on the filesystem of the monsterpack?

Thanks,
Akshay

create the script like this: File name: startup1.txt (unix format) in the MMC root. (/mmc/mmca1/)

Thats not what I meant mate, for startup.txt to work you need to have ezx_boot.cfg in /ezx_user/download/setup/appwrite/ For the OS to detect the new cfg file dont you have to edit the init.d file in the etc folder?

not true, it's actually in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ a file called S80autoon. (of course it could be in rc1.d rc2.d rc3.d ...) Anyhow, do a 'cat' on the file (in bash) to see if you have startup scripts enabled. If so, then all you have to do is place the script 'startup.txt' or 'startup1.txt' in the directory that is indicated by the S80autoon.

I am also having problems running startup1.txt. When I ldo a cat on S80autoon, this is what I get:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/ezx_boot

Does this mean that I would have to place startup1.txt into the /bin directory? Not sure where to go from here...

What firmware are you running?

What firmware are you running?

I am running R532_G_11.00.59P_11.30.24P, (mischka's MP) on an A1200i; the interesting thing though is that, when I first flashed this phone with the the above firmware, the startup1.txt file ran fine. Thus I am assuming that it is not a FW issue but rather a some corruption in the execution path.

[aksd]

Its corruption in your startup.txt because you edited it with notepad. use Notepad++ and in settings save its UNIX format

Thanks for your reply. I did exactly as you suggested to no avail. I am getting the impression that ezx_boot.cfg is not running at boot time and thus startup1.txt can't run either. Is there a way to check weather ezx_boot.cfg runs or not?

[aksd]

Not that I know of.
