*please* read what is there before asking questions ....

 

[sebt3]

be sure to create a bug/feature request on bugs.o.o about that pointing here

 

[chris_c]

eh?

 

[sebt3]

I requested you to : http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=209

well I did it myself then...

 

[chris_c]

no it should be user initiated - no automatic

 

[sebt3]

no it should be user initiated - no automatic

That's why I said "That still need to be configurable" in the feature request.
But I can easily see a script that :
- is launched through a launcher in the system category
- do what your current script does
- display a windows saying something like "waiting to have reached full battery to shutdown"
- cancel that setup if the windows is closed

I read the article, but i just want to check to see if i have an understanding of it.
1, download said files from the bottom of the article
2,place twlTransistion into /etc/init.d/ and then use chmod + x
3, cp pokeVtrans to /usr/bin
I dont really understand the 5 ls sudo lines.
Please, i know im really nooby at linux, but help a brother out!

 

[chris_c]

just execute each one it turn

its ln not ls - think of this as windows short cuts but a sight more powerful...

on a Linux desktop machine type

man ln

assuming you have made a directory in your home directory called bin for the ./offwhencharged.sh script
you will need to

cd bin

once you have started a terminal - or

sudo bin/offwhencharged.sh

you will need to verify that the script is executable

ls -l

will show you file permission

chmod +x offwhencharged.sh

will make it executable

 

[Kur53]

Alright, i think i get it now.
Thank you!

 

[Kur53]

oh, one last thing, i hate to be a bother but just want to be sure.
on your article you said that it was important not to run this script in isolation, what does that mean?
Thanks.

 

[chris_c]

that you should set up twlTransistion to be run on reboot,

 

[Kur53]

that you should set up twlTransistion to be run on reboot,

and thats just by making it excuteble and placing it in the /etc/init.d/ folder right?

 

[chris_c]

no you also need to make the symbolic links
