Justreader Command Line

Do you know what is the syntax to open an html file with justreader using the command line?

I tried justreader x.html but I doesnt open the file. It just launches justereader and an error message pops up saying it couldnt open the file.

I can't install it to try out right now, but I'd suggest giving justreader the full path to the file, 'justreader /mnt/card/myfiles/myfile.html' for example. See if that works. hth

Most commands will give you some usage tips on the command line. Try:
Code: [Select]
justreader -hin a terminal to see if it will tell you...

That didn't work (for me anyway) & since I couldn't find any other way, AND to be one to never shrink form a challenge, I came up with this 'simple' script . Hope it works for you, patzoul. Just stick it somewhere in your path.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
# justreader.sh - enables opening a specified file from the command line

#set -x  # TESTING

# make sure justreader isn't already running.
ps | grep -E "\b[j]ustreader\b" | grep -v $$ && exit 0

if [ ! -s "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: ${0##*/} filename" >&2
    exit 1
fi

INFILE=$1
INDIR=${1%/*}

CONFFILE=~/Choices/common/JustReader.conf
TMPFILE=${CONFFILE%/*}/$$

trap "\rm -f $TMPFILE" 1 2 3 15

while read LINE; do
    set -- $LINE

    case $1 in
               File) echo "File = $INFILE";;
         Folderpath) echo "Folderpath = $INDIR";;
                  *) echo "$LINE";;
    esac

done < $CONFFILE > $TMPFILE

\mv -f $TMPFILE $CONFFILE

exec justreader

HTH
