This is a tool to run bash scripts from Kobo browser, without needing to connect to a computer.

Like khd-autopatch, script is trigered when device is connected to a usb-charger.

From Kobo browser we can write our commands to run, or load our custom scripts. With some internal javascript tricks, scripts are saved and we can plug usb-charger to force its run and see results.

See requirements and notes on readme.txt:

- Customize your own scripts editing index.html and scripts folder.
	- You can do that after install, connecting to a computer and going to /mnt/onboard/.html2bash/
	- Copy your own scripts to folder.

- Launching html2bash:

Check script is launched when we plug our device to a usb-charger, but not when we plug to a computer.
I tested with a powercube 2A and a Motorola mobile charger .85A, and works nice. But some people reported different benhaviour and when they plug to usb-charger they get prompted as if connected to a computer. In this case, this method is not valid because autopatch will not be trigered, but maybe could be done similar hooking on "usb_host" rather than "usb_plug".

Samples scripts do nothing special, and are just to test, but other things could be done... ;-) For example, a script that sed Kobo eReader.conf to switch true/false on [FeatureSettings] Screenshots option, ...

Note: Only tested on Glo Hd fw 3.19.5761. Should work on other devices/fws but maybe there are differences in browser, i don't know.
