Linux Commands on Android

[jeffe65]

Anybody know if there's a way to start a program on boot using commands, or does it have to be set within the program itself? I'm using AutoKill, and it works great, but you have to set it back to your preferences after reboot.

Just curious does anyone know what a command used to download a file? I'm trying to partition my sd card and found a way using the following command via code.google.com

$ su
# cd /data
# wget http://64.105.21.209/bin/lib/droid/sdsplit
# chmod 555 sdplit
# exit

I get wget: not found.

Is there any way to use a different command from terminal emulator to download the executeable? I tried through a browser but it looks like a script...showing source code only. Maybe everyone can help me out.

I can start my terminal with the option of starting in root, and it works. Just curious why I can't SU from term. it says unknown user root, but I do have root. should i be typing something else?

Is there any command for rebooting into emergency mode? My back button is not working.
