Well, I do check!
a)The version 1.10 (on extras-devel/extras-testing) is, for sure, safer than 0.9

b)I currently use 4 widgets on my desktop and no lockups so far, suggesting that maybe the commands themselves are the problem.

c) Queen Beecon Widget is quite safer (albeit more bloated) since it executes commands asynchronously and is under current development.

I have to admit that I used with 0.9 almost nine instances of the widget on the desktop.
Still the scripts were from http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Comman...#CPU_frequency

Cheers!

Well, if everything goes as planned (me finding time again to work on my side-projs) I'll have time to push a new version (probably with asynchronous cmd execution) sometime in the future.

Everything has been working great however I can't seem to get Internal and External IP working right.

The Internal IP when on GSM shows correctly however shows 127.0.0.1 when on wifi.

External IP well doesn't work. I get invalid error which I just piped out to an echo for now however doesn't fix the issue I am seeing. I checked the ifconfig and it does show my proper wlan IP address.

I double checked my rootsh install and it's the proper stable version not the one located in dev.

I found this shell script which is running well in the shell. But I dont know the working syntax for the Desktop Command Execution Widget.

random.sh:

Code:

#/bin/sh

# randomquote - Given a one-line-per-entry datafile, this
# script randomly picks one line and displays it. Best used

awkscript="randomquote.awk.$$"

if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
  echo "Usage: randomquote datafilename" >&2
  exit 1
elif [ ! -r "$1" ] ; then
  echo "Error: quote file $1 is missing or not readable" >&2
  exit 1
fi

trap "/bin/rm -f $awkscript" 0

cat << "EOF" > $awkscript
BEGIN { srand() }
      { s[NR] = $0 }
END { print s[randint(NR)] }

function randint(n) { return int (n * rand() ) + 1 }
EOF

awk -f $awkscript < "$1"

exit 0

With "random.sh textfile.txt" it writes one line to the shell.

But how can I get this working in Desktop Command Execution Widget ?

Thanks

Desktop command widget is sorta buggy when it comes to these commands but what you can do is this:

Firstly when you are making this desktop execution widget make sure you only have "update when click" selected, otherwise you would be in a whole heap of probs...

Add this command:

cd /pathname && sh ScriptName.sh

where "pathname" is the location of your script and "ScriptName.sh" is the name of the script you want to run...e.g

cd /home/user/MyDocs/Scripts && sh HelloWorld.sh

... Name the widget what ever you like, and voila.

Thanks for your advice.

I tried different variants of the command: "cd /home/user/MyDocs/Scripts && sh HelloWorld.sh" (the rights on the script and directory are 777 etc) But it only writes: "Invalid Command". May be the DCEW can not handle this kind of output ?
