how do you run scripts

[deadfrog82]

I keep seeing in other developers roms just run scripts to change things you don't like my question is how do you do that

[garrett]

scripts are just a series of linux commands that run in sequence...

if you have a bash script created you need to "chmod u+x" to make it executable then just run the file either in adb shell or via a root terminal on the phone.

to run the file the command would be "./samplascript" without the quotes

A script is like a batch file in windows. Anything you do often you can put into a script so you don't have to type it all out again.

For instance, if you want to remove something you can do the following:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
rm /system/app/SomeSortOf.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

or you can put all of the above into a script file and and then run:

rmSomeSortOfApk

and then run that instead
