I have searched but cant seem to find anyone else with simular problem.

Before the FW1.2 I had some files that returned information based on texts and calls available based on my telco contract.
Worked fine... then when I upgraded they all stopped working.

the programs do not even try and run... so its not a code issue. (well I dont think it is...)

here are the permissions:
---------------------
Jades-Nokia-N900-42-11:/usr/bin# ls -l Jade*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 79 Apr 20 22:10 Jade_Temp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1553 Jun 11 09:59 Jade_out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 590 Jun 11 09:59 Jade_text
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 237 Jun 11 09:59 Jade_vnc2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 150 Jun 11 09:59 Jade_wake
---------------------

I used to be able to run them with out being root, so I could run them with the desktop shell command execution thingy..

but now when I run them it comes up:
Jades-Nokia-N900-42-11:/# Jade_text
-sh: Jade_text: not found

how do I fix this?

Thanks Jade

For some reason it's not finding the scripts.
Can you check that /usr/bin is still in your path?

You might also want to try to run them from the /usr/bin directory to test that way too

This is my path:
Jades-Nokia-N900-42-11:~# $PATH
-sh: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11: not found

Following your instructions:
Jades-Nokia-N900-42-11:~# cd /usr/bin
Jades-Nokia-N900-42-11:/usr/bin# ./Jade_text
-sh: ./Jade_text: not found


The weird thing is I havent changed anything... it just stopped working straight after the firmware update.

Check to see if all your partitions are mounted. Reboot. File System Check.

tried restarting... how do I check the file system?

anyone got any ideas?

You mention bash in the thread title. Is it possible that you had bash installed previously, are now using the default shell (as you haven't reinstalled bash), and that the scripts themselves are directly invoking /bin/bash which isn't there ???

how did it stop with the firmware upgrade? if it was installed before why isnt it installed now.

I assumed it was bash... im not too fimular with shell... havent used linux for years and years.

the weird thing if I change the code to be sh and type sh Jade_text then it works?

how come it doesnt work when its bash? it did on p1.1

ok... I checked that directory and bash didnt exist... I aptget install bash.... and problem solved... is that an ok solution.

I thought you might have reflashed to get PR1.2 and not reinstalled bash.

Take a look at the first line of the scripts, and if it says /bin/bash change it to /bin/sh. I said /usr/bin/bash in my post above in error.
