   exit
else
   echo "found and installed, will continue"
fi

i thought instead of giving off an error why not auto install it if not found??
so yeah this is what i ended up with i tested it on two of my mobiles
and i was hoping if you could point out any mistakes within it

cheers

Yes, that is good. Two things though.. rootsh can't be installed through apt-get. You need to have rootsh to use apt-get so the only way to install it is using the app manager.

And if you don't want the user to be prompted whit the "yes/no" if they want to install.. you could add an "-y" at the end. So it becomes "apt-get install -y kernel-power". Then the process would become more fluid.

Ohh.. and "else" will not be needed. If they already have rootsh and kernel-power installed than that could be come confusing. And "exit" was only needed for the rootsh one as that is the only reason for the script to abort. The dependecies get's installed in the other cases.

You could add another if-statment in case it need an reboot (halt). As you need to be root to use the script.. i added an check for that instead of the check for rootsh.

Code:

# Is the user root?
user=`whoami`
if [ $user != "root" ]; then
    echo "You are not root. You need to be root to run this script. If not installed. Then install it through the Application Manager."
    exit 1
fi

# Check for dependencies
if [ ! "`dpkg -l | grep 'kernel-power'`" ]; then
    echo "Enhanced kernel for power users is not installed, installing..."
    apt-get install -y kernel-power
        if [ ! "`dpkg -l | grep 'kernel-power-settings'`" ]; then
            echo "Enhanced kernel for power users (settings) is not installed, installing..."
            apt-get install -y kernel-power-settings
            halt
        fi
fi

if [ ! "`dpkg -l | grep 'kernel-power-settings'`" ]; then
    echo "Enhanced kernel for power users (settings) is not installed, installing..."
    apt-get install -y kernel-power-settings
        if [ ! "`dpkg -l | grep 'kernel-power'`" ]; then
            echo "Enhanced kernel for power users is not installed, installing..."
            apt-get install kernel-power
            halt
        fi
fi
