thanks for reply m8. i will wait for the startup and the complete package . with respect to process not starting, i meant the actual startup process defined in event.d and init.d. Script (directly executed) is running without problems. Thanks again m8, this a very very useful script, patching the disadvs of N900. As i said earlier, i would love to wait for this script to turn into a lovely feature (which is actually quite a necessity -- supported by almost all phones in this range!!) binded into the OS / contacts. Hopefully it happens by next OS update.
