I hacked together a perl script with a similar goal but it used SIGSTOP when the battery got too low instead of killing the process. I didn't use it very much and I don't know if that's a viable solution for most applications. However if that does work for the app, that's probably better than

There is a mount option, 'noexec,' that could be preventing you from running something on the SD card. You can check by running 'mount' with no options and if necessary editing /etc/fstab to remove the option and then remount the cards. Dr. Nicholas Shaw wrote: > I have an issue that has me c

Your problems are not particular to linux but particular to the internet tablets. As I understand, there are "tasks" that run on the DSP and the task is effectively a single thread; multiple instances of that task cannot be spawned. Decoding the MP3 is a task which runs on the MP3, so only one
