I have decided to create a seperate thread for Prey on Sailfish, as I believe this is close enough to be working, allthough with some small efforts still needed to be changed in configuration files manually.

My version of prey is on my openrepos for you to test. It should install needed extra packages as needed (openssl-1.0.1f, perl modules and Imagemagick)

I am still working on a few features missing.
* Streaming video from cam (I believe we need a more recent gstreamer for this)
* Alert (needs to find where bg image is stored)
* Lock (remember to enable Jollas lock)

What is working:
* Get geo location
* Get network information
* Get active connections
* Get nearby hotspots
* Traceroute
* Get running programs
* Currently logged in user
* NEW Screenshot (has a red colour)
* NEW Alarm

There is some manual configuration to do after installing the rpm:

Edit:

Code:
/usr/share/prey/config
add your API key to the line (see image)
Get it from https://panel.preyproject.com/profile

Code:
api_key=''
add your email to the line

Code:
mail_to='mailbox@domain.com'
change these lines to fit your email/ISP

Code:
smtp_server='smtp.gmail.com:587'
smtp_username='username@gmail.com'
smtp_password='password'
Note that password above is base64 encrypted, you can get your base64 password like this

Code:
$ echo -n "password" | openssl enc -base64
UPDATE prey.service and prey.timer are now placed in /etc/systemd/system/ folder by installation of the rpm file, no need to manually create them, also, service is started and timer enabled

When you run (as root)

/usr/share/prey/prey.sh

first time, it should register the device, and give some terminal output that will show you wheter the connection/registration is successfull.
The device will be identified at prey as being 'linux' you cn edit this name to fx 'Jolla'.

To query status of prey, you can use
systemctl status prey.timer and
systemctl status prey.service

Changelog:
2805-2014 Version update
requires cron (fcron)
bugfixes (missing laptop-detect
0703-2014 Changed script to sound alarm, added systemd service and timer files, enables service and starts timer by rpm installation
