date > $scriptdir/check.txt
Insert the card in the iliad and click on check.sh: It should create a file named check.txt (in the same directory as check.sh)with the current date in it. If this does not work, then your 'development package' has not been installed successfully. More info can be found here:

If the check works we'll have to do additional tests...
Good luck! |
Hello hansel,
Well, that didn't work - it seemed to, as the green light flashed on and off a few times, and the screen refreshed - but no file named check.txt is to be seen in the same directory as check.sh was in. I even went out of the folder and came back in, just to make sure, but check.sh was the only file in there.
Now where do we go from here? I've had a look at that blog file at adamrb.com - scary stuff. It looks to me that the developer file downloaded from Irex hasn't work as advertised - but I have seen it written somewhere that to try downloading it and installing it again - which is automatic anyway (the installing part) - could leave the Iliad unworkable. I don't really want that to happen. So what can we do now?
And what was that bit Haven was talking about back in #53 where he said to
type in the name of the file in the code line that started the content lister? He showed that line of text but didn't give the file name that was supposed to go in there, I don't think? It didn't seem to be a complete example? Is maybe that a workaround for my situation?
Cheers,
