Persistent SamyGo apps - a guide?

[juusso]

People spend a lot of time by developing apps and no time left for documenting on wiki. So if anyone could do that, your help is very appreciated!

There is good Wiki tutorial for autoload exeDSP plugins created almost year ago by geo650.

PS: There was only problem with find it on Wiki because there was no link for it from B-series subpage. I fix it now

Moras, method he described is not used and dangerous. We need refresh info about autostart methods.

Hello, I was thinking a failsafe method for those autostart scripts. Preventing the case something goes wrong and TV goes to infinite boot / restart loop.

How about when the samygo.sh starts, it disables itself from being run, then launches a fork which sleeps for about a minute or so, and after the minute, forked child enables again the samygo.sh

Maybe something like this (pseudo code, don't remember sh syntax by heart)

#!/bin/sh
# samygo.sh, run on each start from patched firmware

if exists /mtd/wiselink/samygo/disable_autostart
then exit

touch /mtd/wiselink/samygo/disable_autostart

fork

if(child)
{
sleep 60
rm /mtd/wiselink/samygo/disable_autostart
exit
}

# parent
do the injectso or whatever

Edit: or instead of fork, just do the sleep and rm at the end of samygo.sh.
