Sharp Rom Without An Installed Console
« on: May 22, 2006, 02:39:24 pm »
Hello,

does anyone know (or can try) what the cqop command "QPE/Application/embeddedconsole" does on a Sharp ROM Zaurus without explicitly installed console? DOes it also open a (rudimentary) console, or does it run the console commands invisibly or..?

I'd like to know because I plan to develop a shell script based backup solution which should also be usable on stock Sharp ROMs. But I'm not sure if it's possible and I don't have a second Zaurus yet to try that.

Thanks

The qcop call will fail, and will do nothing. MIght bring up a popup that states it couldn;t be found

In linux, you don't need to open a console window to run scripts.

Thanks!

I know I don't have to, but I would like to, because the user should be able to see what's happening.
Maybe I should use a simple shell-script based qtopia dialog system in order to build the user inferface... That should also work without an installed console and might be more user friendly.
