Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your response. I got the syntax sorted out now:
service my_sh /system/etc/my_sh.sh
class main
# user root
# group root
oneshot
With this, I do see the service kicking in. The next challenge is how do I
get the script to work. Say if I want to cd /mnt/sdcard & this should show
up in the shell prompt. Is that doable? In other words, it should work
exactly as though I'm manually running the script
Thanks
HV
