Have you set
to make it runnable? Also, I'm unsure if it's a good idea to use the /bin/sh shebang. Afaik, you should be using /bin/bash and let maemo's symlink to ash work.Code:chmod +x /home/user/delete_syslog_script.sh
I think /bin/sh is the better way.

Deleting syslog's logfile without doing a reload of syslog daemon is no good idea because the file is still opened by the daemon. You can either rename the file and then force a reload of syslog or you stop syslog, delete the file and start it again.
Another way of preventing root partition from getting filled would be to put logfile to another partition. you can edit /etc/syslog.conf and change path to logfiles. But you should not put it to MyDocs as this may prevent partition from being unmounted and used via usb.

I just tought this possibility but I prefer delete syslog everyday. I'm interested to read it just in case of problem (fortunately not everyday
). I noticed that if I delete it I've to recreate a new one or wait till next reboot of device otherwise I loose it. In this case I should delete the file and create a new or just delete inside syslog remaining the file.But main problem remain, my script should delete it at prefixed hour:min everyday by alarmed but...nothing happens. syslog still there!!

I did a test:
set in alarmed: 'sh /home/user/test2' at specified time.
It's worked!!
so, at this point, I suppose problem is with root privileges...
now, if following this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=278 doesn't work, what is right way to execute command on root files?
Code:
$ touch test1 touch test2 chmod +x test1 test2 vi test1Code:#!/bin/sh rm /home/user/temp2 ~ ~
It's worked!!

ok, I'm sure now problem is executing commands needs root.
I modified my script:
in this case I empty syslog file without delete it.
It's works by terminal but doesn't in alarmed.
any idea?
maybe this problem is related to sudoers?

GPodder will automatically search for and download any podcasts that I'm subscribed to, but only when GPodder is running. If I could get alarmed to open GPodder, say once a week, in the middle of the night, then all of my podcasts could be downloaded without interupting anything else that I'm doing and whilst the phone is in the house and accessing WLAN.
gPodder version 2.11. cli started to work since 2.9 version, if I'm not mistaken.

Everyone, thanks, especially to those submitting patches.
Unfortunately I'm very busy atm so I can't do any work on Alarmed. I hope to get some room in a few weeks and if I can I'll include the patches and implement some of the requested features. Until then, development is stalled.
