Question on Scriptybox

Did you type su in terminal before trying to use scriptybox?

 

In terminal go to preferences and go to initial command and change it to this

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH. <press enter
Bash <here too
Su


That's how I have mine setup and I never have to type su anymore

 

I never knew that mayh3m! Thanks for sharing this!

 

It will also start your bourne again shell (bash) and make it awfuly colory

 

Mayh3m: I used this suggestion from Se7enLC to do the same thing. Is there a preferred way to do this, or any downside in doing it this way?

 

Well the suggestion from May3hm adds /data/local/bin to the path just as it is in the default Android Terminal Emulator, so I'd consider this the preferred way as opposed the the one from Se7en which calls su and then bash. I'd stick with the former just in case there is anything in /data/local/bin you may need to run.

 

Can't get that to work in better Terminal. Oh well. I have su <enter> set as a shortcut to the camera button. Getting straight to su would be more convenient tho.

Edit: Never mind. Better terminal was set to use almquist shell. Unchecked that, works like a charm. Thanks Mayh3m!

 

Np its y I'm here

 

Ignore my prior post, both should work equally well. I hadn't noticed one was the "command line" setting and one was the "initial command" setting.

Failing "reading is FUNdimental" once again.

 

Thanks for confirming that. I tested running commands from both /system/bin and /system/xbin using both configurations. They seem to work the same way.

Guess the old saying "There's more than one way to skin a cat" applies. Now...why the hell you'd want even one way to "skin a cat"...I don't know. :icon_eek:
