No, he means it's supposed to be used with profilematic's idle rule as it says in the description. If you set the script to execute when the phone goes to idle, Billboard refreshes everytime you press the power button to lock the phone or the screen turns itself off. Very useful.

I know, I read the description.
But then it must be possible in terminal too, no?

Coderus' script takes the gconf value that gets written by Billboard and stores it in the variable $text. Then it replaces that value in gconf with "Updating..." and immediately after that it writes over that with the original text. This forces an update in Billboard. It works like a charm but probably the last command didn't get executed when you tried it in terminal. It should be used as a script so that all commands get executed.

Just tried again without any scripts, only BB-inserts, so it can't be timeout -doesn't work.

I have a script ready, which gets the travel times in current traffic from google, for different routes. The idea is to run the query every 15 minutes on weekday evenings, so that I can determine fastest route in current traffic.
I can't directly run the script from Billboard, as it takes about 2 seconds for curl to get the data, and billboard would time out. I need to cache the result (in a file), and have billboard display it.
I just found out that the N9 doesn't have cron on it, and profilematic isn't very suited to the task. How can I get the script to run every 15 minutes during the scheduled times? Is using sleep (15*60) in a shell script power efficient?

@win7mac,
Try entering the commands one by one in terminal.
After this make sure the variable has the correct string by doing:
This should show the text you have in billboard.
After this your low power screen will have the text "Updating...".
After this it's back to normal but refreshed.
Try entering the commands one by one in terminal.
Code:
text=$(gconftool -g /apps/billboard/text)
Code:
echo $text
Code:
gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/text "{{white}}Updating..."
Code:
gconftool -s -t string /apps/billboard/text "${text}"
