Thank you !!!

Re: Multiple boot videos?

it's fascinating to see how such a project evolves :)

from:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



# determine number of files in /dconfs

cd /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/

nof=$(ls *.conf | wc -l)



# get random number

rn=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" ")



# in range of 1 - nof

let "rr = $rn % $nof + 1"



# choose random conf

rf="$rr.conf"

echo "$rr.conf"



# copy it over to default.conf

cp $rf ../default.conf



# exit

exit 0

to:

Code:

start on starting shutdown



script



  cd /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/



  if [ -f 1.conf ]; then



    # check which file is currently used

    if [ -f *.lock ]; then

      cuf=$(ls *.lock)

      ruf=$cuf

      rm *.lock

    else

      cuf="1.lock"

      ruf=$cuf

    fi



    # determine number of files in /dconfs

    nof=$(ls *.conf | wc -l)



    while [ "$ruf" = "$cuf" ]; do



      # get "random" number lol

      rn=$(date +%s)



      # in range of 1 - nof

      let "rr = $rn % $nof + 1"



      # choose random conf

      ruf="$rr.lock"

      rf="$rr.conf"

 

    done

 

    # set file for checking which file is in use

    rb="$rr.lock"



    # copy it over to default.conf

    cp $rf ../default.conf

    touch $rb



  fi



end script

btw:
this is why i love the n900. try to run such a script on any other phone. it won't be that easy (if it's possible at all... ^^)

Re: Multiple boot videos?

btw: i found something REALLY nerdy:

a hourglass random number generator ^^

Re: Multiple boot videos?

Hahahaha, some guys have all the fun!

Re: Multiple boot videos?
