Yeah, that's right but nothing shows me an update (no App manager and no apt-get upgrade) and I have updated AutoDisconnect from 0.2x to 0.3x when 0.3.1 was already released so I don't know how this could have happened and how I can fix it.
Any suggestions?
But the 0.3.1 is on the repository : http://maemo.org/packages/view/autodisconnect/.
I have no idea about how it is possible!!
Anyone reading this thread, could you please just post the version of AutoDisconnect you see in the update manager ?
Thanks!

Couldn't get your app to work, though.. Manually running the autodisconnect_network_runner script, returns the following:
Code:
/opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: syntax error in conditional expression
/opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: syntax error near `-a'
/opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: ` [[ -n "$Pid" -a "$Pid" -ne "$$" ]] && {'
Ah, and by the way, I think the description text is a bit garbled up, pretty sure the example for the disconnection threshold says the opposite of what you meant it to say ("if it's less than <threshold> it won't disconnect" shouldn't one of those be the opposite?).

OK good news DaSilva. The problem was caused by the Mameo AutoBuilder, which didn't put on the repository the armel version. So I've uploaded again the same version under 0.3.1-2 and it is now working!
Keep me posted if it now works for you!

Could never see it running in the background on top and searching for the pid returned nothing, so I assumed the above errors are preventing it from running. No log file to be seen either. Have uninstalled it for now (pitty, though, your app looks promising and is something I'd really appreciate having), so didn't test this: do you have to reboot after instalation to get it working? This being a linux distro and not windows, I don't particularly like rebooting unless absolutely needed.Code:/opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: syntax error in conditional expression /opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: syntax error near `-a' /opt/autodisconnect/autodisconnect-network-check: line 65: ` [[ -n "$Pid" -a "$Pid" -ne "$$" ]] && {'

Bash, actually (what else? :P). Does it depend on busybox being the shell? I ask 'cause I've relinked sh to bash (for a bunch of reasons).
I'll download the newer version and resume testing.

is it worth bothering with this app if I like to have my email checking every 5min (amongst other things requiring an active connection)?

Well Busybox uses the ash shell, so it may be the problem. Easy to know :Try to run :
Code:
[[ -n 12 -a 12 -ne 42 ]] && echo 'OK'

I mean, you'll have to activate the "Always connect" thing on Settings, so anything that needs network access will bring the link up when it needs it. You could set autodisconnect to work at 1 minute intervals and put a relatively high threshold there, in which case it'll bring down the connection at the latest 1'59'' after the last big chunk of data was downloaded, but if the connection is going up and down several times within that 5 minute interval (of your mail widget/app) then it's probably not worth it -- the added overhead will likely negate any savings on battery.
