I hope this is not against the rules to cross-post? Sorry?
I want to write a simple cron script to connect daily to Amazon to see if I have any documents in my cue. I have a Touch wifi only, and it does not wake and sync with Amazon unless I wake it and press the buttons to connect and sync. I'm just trying to automate it.
What I can do:
Code:
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd wakeUp 1
will wake it up.
I can turn on wireless with
Code:
lipc.set.prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 1
How do I make it ask Amazon if there are any items to download? With com.lab126.ota ?? This is the part I'm ignorant? There is a /usr/bin/todo program? What's that for? Any help or ideas would be wonderful!
this will put it back to sleep after:
Code:
lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed
Thanks! |
A cron job the runs while the processor is halted - -
Now that is going to be a very good trick if you can pull it off.
cron is a software program, not access to a hardware timer.
software requires a processor to run it with, and when asleep linux is actually frozen in RAM with the processor shut down.
Install my dmesg -> document KUAL button and study the messages of what is happening during "going to sleep" and "waking up".
