Anyone got any input on the issues described in these threads? DCE has become pretty much unusable for me.

Hallo all,
Is there someone out who can tell me how i can start a background process with DCEW?

I want to establish a ssh Tunnel to an imap server behind a firewall with

ssh -fN -L 1430:imapserver:143 user@borderhost.com

the -fN places ssh into the background. I put my public key on the borderhost.com, so that ssh can login without a password.

It works from the command line and i can get mail from the imap host (127.0.0.1:1430 as imap server ;-).

But when invoked by the DCEW widget, the widget stays selected (waiting for the "background".ssh process to finish) and all other hildon buttons are blocked.

When I kill the ssh tunnel process from another ssh session from my pc to the n900, the widget gets deselected and hildon works normally.

Anyone any suggests?

Chears ari

Maybe try:

Code:
ssh -fN -L 1430:imapserver:143 user@borderhost.com &
or a shell script which returns after starting ssh -fN.

Thank you for the answer, I have of course tried that before, it does not work either.

The -fN switch should do the same as '&'.

Thanks ari

Have you tried:
Code:
ssh -fN -L 1430:imapserver:143 user@borderhost.com | echo ""
(just in case..)

http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Comman..._start_browser

Code:
/usr/bin/browser_dbuscmd.sh load_url http://www.goal.com


Haven't tested myself though, I prefer to make desktop shortcuts for websites (.desktop files + small icons) because DCE has always been a bit unstable for me.

if you don't want to use any special script then (in one line) enter:

Code:
 dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"www.goal.com"

Hi Guys

Sorry for being a noob, but i'm looking for a script that will 'compose new email' and another script to 'compose new text message'

I couldnt find these scripts in the DCEW wiki?
