Hi all,
to fix the ps-problem the next version will call it this way:

$ busybox ps

This (only) assumes that busybox is (still) installed even when other packages set /bin/ps to what ever.

Can everybody readin this please confirm that above command displays PID in 1st column on his/her device?

Also with BusyBox v1.19.3 (Debian 1.19.3power1) works great.
Excellent solution.

Running the latest busybox beta from iDont:

Code:

BusyBox v1.19.3 (Debian 1.19.3power3~envparser) built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.



~ $ busybox ps

  PID USER       VSZ STAT COMMAND

    1 root      1740 S    /sbin/init

Does your "busybox ps" only show this single process or did you - hopefully - cut away lines of ps-output in your post?

Sorry for the confusion, it showed the total process list, not just the init process.

Doing the following tests in SMSCON results an error being SMSed and emailed to me (and the tests do not actually work):

Email
Email with picture
Location
Track ON
Initiate SSH

Other tests (Call, SMS, Execute Script) work fine.

The error is always:

Code:

-fatal error-

smscon_daemon crashed.

need more than 3 values to unpack

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit:
All fixed now after doing something unknown. I had already tried re-setting SMSCON and rebooting the device which had not helped, but things are indeed now!

Thank you for the report. I hopefully found the bug and it will be fixed in next version. It seems to happen if the phone is in transition of GPRS network to WLAN network while executing a smscon-command.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

with the latest version I get the error as above: sms_daemon crashed. need more than 3 values. I'm on kp49 and power busy box

For now I assume its the same as in my last post. So this is probably fixed in next version (if things come not tooo bad, this will be this night :)

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

thank you for yours and Saturns work on this. If this is helpful I've attached the error pop up after trying to initialise

Thank you for the report. This is the "ps-command" mess and will be fixed in next version.
