    exec su user -c "run-standalone.sh /opt/timenowd/bin/timenowd"

end script
post-stop script
    # clean up
    killall timenowd
end script

and then reboot.

It works for me like that. If it works for other people too, I will push the change to extras-devel. I'm asking because apparently the boot procedure is different for each phone and no solution is universal.

if it fails please change the exec line to

Code:

exec su user -c "run-standalone.sh /opt/timenowd/bin/timenowd 2>/home/user/.timenow/timenow.log"

and post contents of timenow.log directly after boot

on the other hand

Code:

/bin/sh: /opt/timenowd/bin/powerbutton: Permission denied

looks suspicious

please run ls -la /opt/timenowd/bin and post here, maybe there's a permission error. I also depend on rootsh so make sure you have that installed (which might not be the best way to do that, I might better add timenow to sudoers)

For timenow.conf, I noticed that on my device it didn't start without a longer sleep period, probably because proximityd hadn't yet completely started (I also had to add respawn 15 3 to proximityd as reported earlier by pierrem.

Thus if it works for you, leave it as is. I will introduce the longer delay as well as fix the permission thing in lucky version 0.13 in a few days.

I might ponder using sudoers instead of rootsh too, but as they say if it ain't broke...

Happy new year and thanks.
