Hi, I'm trying to run a commandline directly from systemui.xml.

Code:

sudo gainroot
echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

This command can be shortened to one line:

Code:

echo "echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness" | sudo gainroot

So what I put in my systemui.xml was basically this:

Code:

  <menuitem priority="3" name="Brightness">
    <icon>terminal</icon>
      <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" 
        path="/com/nokia/xterm" 
        interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" 
        bus="session" autostart="true">
      <argument type="string">echo "echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness" | sudo gainroot</argument>
    </callback>
  </menuitem>

But this only gives me an empty xterm window (content is the same as if you started xterm via app menu).
What to do?
