I'm assuming there's a command that will launch settings.app to a specific page, but I can't figure out the correct arguments to use.

Does any one know if/what they are? Or know of an app that opens a settings page directly (that I can scrutinize)?

I have a clumsy workaround involving a temporary settings.json file with just the required settings listed, but would prefer a concise solution.

EDIT: Figured it out.

Get the "id" value from the settings page you want from one of the .json files in /ebrmain/config/settings

e.g. from personalize.json the "id" value for the frontlight settings is: light_menu

Then launch from pbterm or shell script with:

Code:

settings.app -o light_menu
