Sometimes when I'm reading in bed I'm in a nice position and don't want to move my hand up to my Kobo Clara to touch the screen for a page turn (I know, lazy) so I've added a physical button. I'm using Nickelmenu to start/stop a script that enables this button to work. Problem is this scrips seems to pause after a few seconds/minutes. I think I read somewhere Nickel will pause any background process, but I can't seem to find where this comment was posted. Touching the screen unpauses the script, making the button work again for a few seconds, but this kinda defeats the purpose of the button
Does anyone know if it's possible to prevent nickel from pausing my script?
The line in nickelmenu is something like
Code:
:500:quiet /bin/sh /myscript.sh &
Oh and a quick second question: what does the
:500 in nickelmenu commands do? It is used in the examples and some lines don't seem to work without it, but it doesn't seem to be explained anywhere?
