Did anyone ever get as far as compiling a list of useful scripts? A wiki or the like?

'rootsh is now deprecated for it poses too much of a security risk. However, you can still obtain a root shell by running the commands root or sudo root.'
What if I make a script file to perform the task in two steps (I.e. gain root, execute lirc start) and then have the widget run the script file? I'll try that.
Thanks for the idea!

Is this something that might also work under Diablo?

If by Diablo you mean Maemo 4.X, I have no idea. I am using Maemo 5.

Update: see Rob1n's post for a better way to do this using /etc/sudoers.d
Just going right ahead and editing it can be extremely dangerous; messing up the file on a limited permissions system like the N900 can cause brickage.
You probably want to add the command to the sudoers file and then have
echo "" && sudo echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness
as your DCE script. We begin with echo "" as DCEW doesn't like getting no output.

Apologies for the double post
To get more you have to change n for both head and tail (i.e. for top three apps it's head -n 6 | tail -n 3, for top one is head -n 4 | tail -n 1).

Beware though: having this widget uses a surprising amount of CPU, so only refresh occasionally (i.e. probably not on switch and every minute).
hay guys, i was wondering if there is a list, like a wiki page of comands that will work with dsew widget?
also is it possible to get "top" working, iv had a qucik go, including following some advice to try
top -b
however all i get is invalid command
cheers snake

sudo echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness && echo "" || echo "Error!"
In case everything was OK the output is empty, if there was any error, the output will be "Errror!".

Yeah... it is a "known buggy". Will be fixed on the next version. (together with the overwritting on =])
PS: I'm very busy and so the next version is expected to some time in the end of march when I'll have more time.

You're welcome.
It needs only to be put in appropriate categories and missing and/or new scripts must be added!
