Just installed Cacko/Crow ROM (home on SD) + Cacko Kernel Update.
My WiFi Card is recognized with no problems and I was able to configure Samba over WiFi based on the guidelines posted on ZUG. The only problem is that Samba only auto starts on USB but I would like it to autostart when I insert my WiFi card and autostop when the card is removed.
So far I can only start Samba manually using samba start and stop commands.

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
Complete Linux newbie here
How do I write a script and where should it be placed?
Thanks!

you might look for network helper applet

Thanks for the reply bam.
For networkd helper applet you mean the Network Config Applet used to setup configurations (LAN/Wireless/IrDA) which is already installed with the system or a new ipk that I should install?
I did not find any option to autostart/stop Samba on Network Config Applet.
Thanks!

take a look in the /etc/pcmcia directory, lots of interesting scripts in there. be sure to take a backup copy before changing

Thanks for reply speculatrix. I will check your suggestion.
I suppose that a script is a plain text file with some kind of extension added to its name to identify it as a script. Is it right?
Is there any way to create a applet or a icon associated with this script ?
My idea was to plug my wifi card, start samba (using this applet/icon) and then make a connection with my mac.

a script is a text file whose first line identifies the intepreter, e.g. "#!/bin/bash" or "#!/bin/perl", where the magic part is the #!, and is then set executable, so when you "ls -la" it will look like this
-rwxr-xr-x ......
it's not like DOS/Windows where the file extension is implicit in the execution
adding icons to the desktop to run scripts is a different thing altogether, but yes, it is possible. There are various discussions about it here on the forum, I don't have a link to hand.

Speculatrix,
I created a simple text file using TextEdit:
#! /bin/bash
cd /
/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
Thens saved it under Documents/MyScripts/sambaup.txt
Renamed the file deleting the .txt extension.
Opened terminal and cd to Documents/MyScripts, then ls -la
It shows sambaup as
-rw-r--r-- .... so, no "x" (executable?)...
Is there any additional step to make the script executable so that I can run it in terminal and later assign it to a icon?
Sorry but I'm having a hard time with Linux
-
#! /bin/bash
cd /
/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
Make sure there's no space in the first line:
#!/bin/bashWhy the 'cd /' line? Shouldn't be necessary.

chmod 755 ~/Documents/MyScripts/sambaup.txt

No need to apologize. We all started from the same place
